Electromagnetic Levitation System

Electromagnetic Levitation System



The magnetic levitation system is available as a kit or fully assembled unit. The system works with both the 1/2" N42 sphere magnet and 1/2" x 1/8" N42 disc magnet (or three disc magnets stuck together). This is a great science fair project for students. It is recommended for ages 12 and up.

Electromagnetic Levitation System


The electromagnetic levitation system controls the magnetic field generated by an electromagnet to levitate a small magnet in midair. The small magnet levitates in the air indefinitely without any disturbance. The vertical position of the levitating magnet is measured using a linear Hall effect sensor and the current in the electromagnet is controlled using a microcontroller. The system has three push buttons to adjust the vertical position of the levitating magnet and to apply a sinusoidal, square or sawtooth reference signal.
