Floating LCD Clock and Shuttle

We just love stuff that floats magically in a magnetic field. So when we found a gadget that floats, we were simply beside ourselves with the kind of mirth typically reserved for halflings devouring a beery stew.  Very cool photos.

This is the most stable levitating product out there we could find and even features an auto-rotate mechanism to spin objects clockwise, or counter- clockwise. A great desktop toy that will fulfill all your dreams of levitation AND space flight!

How does it work? It’s simple. Just plug the base in, then grab the LCD clock and hold it between the top and bottom of the base at approximately the height and orientation shown in our images. You’ll have to find the ’sweet spot’, but it’s easy to do with a little practice and the unit will beep and blink at you to guide you along the way. Once you are in the right range, the micro-processor controlled magnets will take over and you can let go. The shuttle works the same way, but can be a bit trickier to get to float. Make sure you look at our additional images to see the proper orientation.
