CINCINNATI, Oct. 20 (UPI) --The final competition is still a few months away, but students at the University of Cincinnati are celebrating a breakthrough this week after their Hyperloop model -- and ...

If everything goes according to plan, Elon Musk says the first generation of SpaceX’s massive Starship will make an orbital flight before the end of 2020. That’s a pretty bold claim, but when you’ve ...

It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

Magnetic levitation is a beautiful thing to watch. Seeing small objects wobble about while seemingly hovering in thin air never gets old. If you want something suitably distracting in this vein for ...

Recently, I finished another simple version of my electromagnetic levitation demo device that levitates a small object under an electromagnet. What makes it different from my earlier model is the ...

In high-temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev systems, the interaction mechanism and analytical theoretical calculation between the onboard YBaCuO high-temperature superconductor and the ground ...

The idea of levitating off the ground has been a staple of science fiction dreams and human imagination since time immemorial. While we don't have our hoverboards just yet, we do have the very real ...
