Mysterious rotation trick makes magnets float in the air
There is a simple way to levitate magnets – and physicists are beginning to understand how it works. The technique could have applications for robotics in the future. In 2021, – then at Göksal Aeronautics in Turkey – posted a YouTube video showing two magnetic spheres levitating on either side of a rapidly spinning bar magnet that was positioned with its north-south poles oriented vertically. Ucar also published a paper on the phenomenon, which attracted the attention of at the Technical University of Denmark. With a colleague, Bjørk decided to replicate Ucar’s levitation technique. “We sat down …
