The Levitron spins and surfs on magnetic waves! Pass your hand above, underneath, and around the top. It will continue to spin and float only touching air! The LEVITRON floats free in space, supported only by therepelling magnetic force produced by permanent magnets.

will the top drop when it stops spinning? or will it not stop spinning?
By havoc_fantasy 1202835155 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- yep
the pole on the bottom of the top is the same as the top of the base that holds it up. if the top stops spining it will most likely flip over. becuase magnets have two poles, the other side will be the opposite of the base, opposites attract so the top will fall sticking to the base like a refrigerator magnet

on the video they said they were both the same.

- I think...
You misunderstood what Brysey19 was saying; basically, obviously every magnet has two poles. Picture the poles like this, from the upper side of the spinning top's magnet to the lower side of the base's magnet.

Therefore, when the top loses its gyration enough to destabilize, the negative pole would attract to the positive of the base, causing the top to turn over and fall, sticking to the base.5535323 - 3

.. (not to be a jerk) but I don't see why you make $600 dollars for filming a toy that you didn't invent, and explaining how it works, which is probably on the box.

The repulsion is based on Lenz' Law. It needs to spin as the radial magnetic field of the spinning top continuously cuts a magnetic field of the base. The base magnetic field (invisible) is shaped like the open crater of a volcano......lol :) well done. If you buy the perpectuator: you can make it spinning for more than a day!

قانون المغنطيس كل قطبين من نفس الفصيلة يتباعدان و كل قطبين من فصيلة مختلفة يتقاربان
هنا عندما ندير هذه القطعة الصغيرة فوق مجال من المغنطيس ستصدر بدورها كهرباء استاتيكية متولدة
و بالتالي تخلق بدورها شخنة مغنطيسية متغيرة مما ينفرها على المجال الممغنطيسي للقاعدة

The floating top is caused by magnetic repulsion. Anti gravity by definition means the suppression of gravity and is not currently possible wtih known technology. Any 2 magnets will repel each other if the correct sides are close enough to each other.

Gyroscope resists movement and provides stability. It is used on many places for such purpose, including ships and airplanes.
