A magnetron is the name of the tube that is inside a microwave oven
and radar units it has two powerfull ring magnets to force the
electrons in the tube to follow a circular path. The Levitron is a
more coloquial (Sp.?) expression that refers to having two ring
magnets slid over a dowl such that their fields apose and the upper
magnet will levitate in space over the bottom magnet, impresive sight
the first few time you see it.
