Electromagnetic levitation test 2 working with CNC machined head

Test of my final levitator design

Powered by an ATmega168 micro.
Runs on 12v at about 5a max provided by a computer power supply.
With a damper like the one you see in the video, It can do repulsive, attractive, and side levitation.

So how this project of yours is going? :]

@Demoman42 I am currently designing the next generation of this project with a different geometry, a different sensing method, and a more advanced controller. If everything works you might be seeing a new levitator in 6 months or so.

@cr99991 Good luck then ! :]

Excellent setup. Would love to see more construction details and code functionality for the atmega168

That's awsome :D I've never seen that kind of levitator!

wow pretty kewl man next video try to levitate your car or at east a toy one lol. good job i like what you've done there how does it work ? =)

If you need to dampen eddy current try Pyrolytic graphite can be used as dampener if used correctly.

Very nice demonstration. Electrical progamming :)
