Abstract
A magnetic levitation device as a toy or a bearing is provided. The magnetic levitation device has an inner component and an outer component. Multiple magnet rings are mounted on the inner component and multiple magnet rings are mounted on the outer component. The magnet rings on the inner component attract the magnet rings on the outer component. Multiple pulley assemblies are mounted on the outer component. An elastic component is connected with a center pulley. The two ropes are wrapped on the center pulley. One end of each one of the ropes is mounted on one of the fixing points that is connected to one of the magnet rings mounted on the outer component and another one end of the rope is mounted on a reactive pulley. With such structure, the outer component may levitate from the inner component and the pulley assemblies can balance the entire device.
