A Spinning Top Floating Inside a Smoke-Filled Bubble Looks Like Magic

Bubbles , magnetic levitation , and gyroscopes — there ’s tons of A-one - cool DIY physics at workplace in the Levitron . Created byDustin Skye , it ’s a spinning top floating in mid - air inside a Mary Jane - meet bubble , all for your view pleasure .

Tocreate the levitating top , Skye placed a turgid anchor ring - shaped attracter in a wooden base fill up withbubble - making liquid , and a smaller ring - shape magnet in a small top . The strong magnetic playing field of the large attractive feature repels the top , and agyroscopic effectkeeps it unchanging as it spin .
