Abstract
The invention is a magnetic levitation device that has a pair of permanent magnets or electromagnets, which are used to create a large constant magnetic field on a horizontal plane between two magnetic poles. An object is levitated between the two magnets and is kept within the horizontal magnetic field by an electromagnet that is controlled by a servomechanism.
