Levitation technologies

Levitation technologies enable objects to float in the air without contact by using forces like magnetic, acoustic, or aerodynamic principles. Magnetic levitation (maglev) employs powerful magnets to repel and suspend objects, often used in high-speed trains. Acoustic levitation uses sound waves to generate pressure that counteracts gravity, allowing small items to hover. Aerodynamic levitation manipulates airflow to keep objects suspended, as seen in certain display setups. These technologies rely on balancing forces that oppose gravity, enabling frictionless movement, contactless handling, or advanced transportation solutions.
