Levitation science
Levitation science involves methods to suspend or lift objects without physical support by manipulating forces like magnetic, acoustic, or aerodynamic principles. For example, magnetic levitation (maglev) uses powerful magnets to counteract gravity, allowing trains to float above tracks, reducing friction. Acoustic levitation employs sound waves to create pressure points that hold small objects in mid-air. Aerodynamic levitation uses airflow to support objects, often for scientific analysis. These techniques rely on understanding and controlling forces at play, enabling applications in transportation, research, and material handling, demonstrating how natural forces can be used innovatively to achieve levitation without contact.
