| An advanced version of the original Levitron magnetic floating top! This advancement is made possible through the use of high-powered neodymium iron boron magnets. The new Levitron Cherry Wood is the highest floating Levitron anti-gravity top ever!
This ingenious top is able to levitate in mid-air by harnessing the lifting power of two opposed, permanent magnets and is stablized in space by the gyroscopic effect spinning produces.
Your friends will be amazed to see the top floating over the hole of the Levitron CherryWood! Makes a terrific executive gift!
Levitron Cherry Wood includes a floating top, Cherry Wood lifter plate, Cherry Wood magnetic base, adjustable brass leveling legs, assortment of adjustable weights, and the Levitron physics guide. The diameter of the base is 6.5 inches.
The Levitron Cherry Wood may also be combined with the Perpetuator (see below) for a display of continual levitation! Also see the Levitron Starter below.
NOTE: The Levitron has two critical adjustments that may take you awhile to set correctly. First, the base must be perfectly level. This is achieved by spinning the top and seeing which direction it flies off the base. You move the adjustable feet to compensate and then repeat this procedure until the base is level. The second adjustment is the amount of weight rings you put on the top. Too much weight and the top won't lift off the base and too little weight causes it to fly off to one side. Just the right amount of weight causes it to levitate above the base. Very cool!
