Levitation Device : Glass of Wine

Built by Janick Simeray, of SimerLab PARIS, this levitation device uses a sophisticated electromagnetic system to
enable an object to float in mid-air -- the rotating platform can support up to 2-pounds (about 1 kg).

@300Z31 Indeed, it is quite rare to find a troll with some accurate knowledge. Must be a half-breed.

for some reason, i think true anti-gravity will not have anything to do with magnetism itself, but will have more to do with special relativity. gravity being an observed force of the mass of a body as it warps space-time near it. i also think we as humans place too much reliance on visual effect rather than cause (example: the sun going around the earth or the earth being flat). One day "Gravity Shielding" may be possible by simply thinking outside the box.
