Levitron Omega

February 25th, 2010 by Tom

This is our Levitron Omega (by Fascinations) demonstrating spin stabilized magnetic levitation. The magnetic top levitates via magnetic repulsion above a magnetic base plate, stabilized by gyroscopic effect due to its spin.

The song is called “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” by the Bourbon Street Stompers.
