The magnet floating device operates using a small Hall Effect sensor where the field of the permanent magnet can be detected or be able to modulate the magnetic field of electromagnet. The magnet ...

China is racing to build a new kind of train that does not just rival jetliners, it threatens to redefine what “high speed” even means on land. Engineers are now testing a magnetic levitation system ...

A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

Magnets aren’t magic, but sometimes you can do things with them to fool the uninitiated — like levitating. [Jonathan Lock] does that with his new maglev desk toy, that looks like at least a level 2 ...

Levitating chairs from the Jetsons still have a few years of becoming a commercial product though they are fun to think about. One such curious inventor, [Conor Patrick], took a deep dive into the ...

For 32 teachers in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District, receiving grant funding is more than a financial boost to purchase equipment for classrooms, it’s a chance to expand their curriculum ...

18-year-old electrical engineer student, Chris Rieger, has been working on his levitating light bulb project — fittingly referred to as the “LevLight Project” — for about six months now. Recently he ...

China announced Monday it will spend $22 billion to build two of the world’s most ambitious railway-building projects — the nation’s second magnetic levitation train and a high-speed railway linking ...
