Levitron Platinum Pro

Product Description

The LEVITRON^(R) has been called "The best new science toy in a generation" by members of the American Association of Physics Teachers, and it is the perfect gift for the person that has everything.

Spin the top - and watch it float! The Levitron spins and surfs on magnetic waves! Pass your hand above, underneath, and around the top. It will continue to spin and float while only touching air! The LEVITRON floats free in space, supported only by the repelling magnetic force produced by permanent magnets (no batteries required!).

The permanent magnets produce a magnetic field that, with the aid of precession and gyroscopic motion, keeps the Levitron suspended in midair for more than 2 minutes.

A scientific theorem, that was advanced over a century ago, states that this is impossible - yet this amazing top levitates right before your eyes! Seeing is believing!

With the new Powerful Neodymium Magnet it floats twice as high as the original Levitron and is easier to spin.

Included: Floating top, magnetic base, adjustable weights, plastic lifter plate, adjustable legs, instruction sheet, physics guide and FREE Levitron Self Starter
Teach: Equilibrium of forces, levitation, balanced forces, magnetic forces, gyroscopic motion
