SimerLab’s Amazing Floating Platform

February 16, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 2 comments

SimerLab Physicist Janick Simeray built this cool levitation device, which uses a sophisticated electromagnetic system to make objects float in mid-air. Well actually, the objects themselves don’t really float; it’s the platform they’re sitting on that does. Still impressive nonetheless.

    How awesome would it be to have a “bumper cars” amusement park thingy based on this technology, with all the cars floating?

    I’ll answer that for you. Really friggin awesome.

  2. Just a guess, but I’d expect this to make a pretty good magnetic media eraser. Don’t want to get your laptop too close, or any of the cards in your wallet with mag strips.
