Dielectric Levitation

Dielectric levitation occurs when a non-conductive material (dielectric) is suspended in an electric field due to forces arising from polarization. When an electric field is applied, the dielectric's charges rearrange internally, creating a gap in energy that results in an attractive or repulsive force. Carefully controlled electric fields can balance gravitational pull, allowing the object to float or levitate without physical contact. This technique is used in advanced applications like contactless transportation, vibration control, or scientific experiments, leveraging the principles of electrostatics and material polarization to achieve stable suspension.
