Magnetic Levitation Sculpture

Kickstarter project: http://kck.st/p7S94w

Ever see those cool gadgets on your co-workers desks with the powered levitating globe? Or a levitating top that stays floating as long as its spinning? What would be cooler than that?

How about a levitating cube that doesn't use ANY power?

Back it now, as it'll be more expensive later!

Sweet! now put it in a vacuum tube and motorize the adjustments.and it would (theoretically) never stop spinning

[FreePizza007]

@Kool1zero1 Actually I thnk, it will stop spinning. The Eddy currents in the metal cylinders above and below cause opposing forces to slow it down. Even in normal air.

@Kool1zero1 im afraid not since even theoretically no such thing as a complete vacuum so there would always be something to interfere with its spin tis a shame tho
