Re: Levitron
"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."
        NEGATIVE.  The Levitron is a totally different device, a
spinning top which literally floats in air above a magnetic base.
Different principle, far more spectacular.  For more info go to"
