Now here’s more stuff that you (or your kids) can say “Wingardium leviosa” to and expect the objects to actually levitate. While the famous levitation charm from the Harry Potter series won’t work on normal objects, they certainly will if you use it in conjunction with the Levitron Revolution. Unlike the Magic Levitation Wand which [...]

You have seen them before, the floating photo frames. But never before in the shape of a heart. A question that comes to mind; why is it that we still haven’t seen any levitating digital photo frames? The Heart-in-Heart Floating Photo Frame measures 19.5(H) x 21(W) x 5(D) cm and has a photo placeholder that [...]

Here we have yet another example of those levitating products that we have seen in the shape of a baseball, a globe, a lamp, etc. This floating photo frame measures 13 x 16.5 x 5 cm and has the 12.5 x 8.5 cm frame levitating in mid-air inside the lit wooden “arch”. The Floating Photo [...]

Most of the levitation gadgets we’ve covered here at GeekAlerts have had some kind of useful functionality – a photo frame, an earth globe etc. But the only purpose of this Cherry Wood Levitron is for you to have fun and be able to impress your friends, which is usually more than enough. The classiest [...]

The Zero-G Levitating Baseball ($30) uses a computer controlled levitation, allowing you to control if you want the ball to spin and how fast. Includes a 120v [...]

Levitating Globe

Robert Birming — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 21:23:46 +0000

We have already covered a couple of products like this – the Electromagnetic Earth Globe and the Illuminating Electromagnetic Earth Globe. Unfortunately, there is not much information available about this levitating globe. We’ll just have to assume it uses electro magnets, as with the others. Judging from the product photos, it looks like the chrome [...]

Levitating Multicolored LED Photo Frame

Robert Birming — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:02:04 +0000

Remember the Illuminating Levitating Earth Globe? From the same German company comes this electromagnetic photo frame. Two electronic magnets, one in the foot and one at the top, controls the distance between the black/chrome arch and the frame. A standard magnet makes sure the frame stays when the 220V for the electromagnets is shut off. [...]
