How to design a magnetic levitation demonstrator using photodetectors and electronics to control an electromagnet.

Magnetic levitation information, photos and links. Includes the article "What is a magnetic field?".

Research Interests of Marc T. Thompson, Ph.D., System Design Consultant and Professor of Electrical Engineering.

Magnetic suspensions and power electronics design.

Plenty of materials can be levitated in a strong magnetic field - from simple metals, liquids, and various polymers to everyday things such as various plants and living creatures (frogs, fish and a mouse).

The 17th International Conference on Magnetically Levitated Systems and Drives, Lausanne. The conference is aimed to present the existing industrialization status, the marketing and social aspects, and application of MAGLEV for high-speed transportation systems.

Diamagnetic levitation jig suspends a NdFeb magnet in mid air without a power source of any kind.

Discussion group and news archive for those interested in low speed maglev ("urban maglev"), quiet trains designed for urban transit, with top service speeds usually under about 100mph.

A simple how-to for creating your own diamagnetic levitation experiments, complete with demonstration images and thorough explanations.
