Electromagnetic Levitron

An electromagnetic levitron. Everything here is real, all objects are levitating in normal conditions.

good work!

instead of Smith's trigger microprocessor can a computer be used for the calculations?

[maumastoks]

Ofc. it can. But many adjustments will be needed, lots of cables and special programs to write. Lots of work.

How does it work? I'm guessing the fixed magnet is an electromagnet at the top but does the voltage drop the closer the bottom magnet gets to the fixed magnet? Or is it to complicated to sum up in a short answer?

[maumastoks]

it is a very difficult thing actually. The levitating object must be any kind of magnet. In the levitron there is a holo's detector that indicates the power and distance of the magnet. It makes voltage increase/decrease. In the chip there is a Smith's triggering microprocessor that makes the current change many times a second (depends what holo's detector gives). And so on...

HI Mr. Rowe's class! ROFL

[maumastoks]

You cannot make this. You must be an expert in electronics and be sure that you want to spend a LOT of time for it. And you must get such rare parts as Smith's trigger microprocessor. If you are still interested, PM me - I'll send you the scheme.

can anyone tell me how to make this???

Reminds me of what I used to do back in school. Nostalgia...
