  2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces. [2]

  3. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

    Floating globe. Magnetic levitation with a feedback loop. Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by constantly altering the strength of a magnetic field produced by electromagnets using a feedback loop. In most cases the levitation effect is mostly due to permanent magnets as they have no power ...

  4. Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-stabilized_magnetic...

    Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation whereby a spinning magnet or array of magnets (typically as a top) is levitated via magnetic forces above another magnet or array of magnets, and stabilised by gyroscopic effect due to a spin rate that is neither too fast, nor too slow to allow for a necessary precession.

  5. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

    Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) is a form of magnetic levitation in which there are conductors which are exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. This induces eddy currents in the conductors that creates a repulsive magnetic field which holds the two objects apart. These time varying magnetic fields can be caused by relative motion between two ...

  6. Magnetic bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_bearing

    A magnetic bearing. A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical wear. Magnetic bearings support the highest ...

  7. Mendocino motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendocino_motor

    Mendocino motors, showing their rotors magnetically levitated over their bases. The most effective creating of Lorentz force is a coil laying parallel under two opposite solar panels.(see mounting instruchtion on https://klose-mendocinomotor.de/) Here you can see the modified version.

  8. Electrodynamic wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_wheel

    An electrodynamic wheel is a type of wheel proposed for use in electrodynamic levitation of the maglev train transport system. [1] [2] [3]Unlike a conventional wheel, an electrodynamic wheel has a rim studded with magnets of alternating poles.

  9. Levitron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitron

    The levitated top's stabilizing rotation undergoes natural, gradual slowing, so that the levitation phenomenon fails within four minutes unless external power is supplied to sustain rotation. To levitate the top, a plastic plate is placed on top of the magnetic base, and the top is spun on the plate at 25–50 rotations per second (1500–3000 ...
