The country that invented the bullet train now has something much faster: the floating bullet train. It’s called a “maglev” train, for “magnetic levitation.” Instead of wheels: magnets. Instead of an ...

Shaking a liquid fast enough allows it to levitate, and a toy boat can float on top of the levitating fluid – or upside down beneath it. When a viscous fluid like silicone oil is shaken up and down ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...
