“Bernoulli” levitation is the basis of many popular counter-intuitive physics demonstrations. However, few of these lend themselves to a quantitative description without recourse to computational fluid dynamics. Levitation of a flat plate is the exception, and we present here a straightforward analysis which illustrates several principles of fluid mechanics in a pedagogically useful way.

We present a comprehensive experimental investigation of a micromachined inductive suspension (MIS) based on 3D wire-bonded microcoils. A theoretical model has been developed to predict the levitation height of the disc-shaped proof mass (PM), which has good agreement with the experimental results. The 3D MIS consists of two coaxial wire-bonded coils, the inner coil being used for levitation, w...

Acoustic levitation provides potential to characterize and manipulate material such as solid particles and fluid in a wall-less environment. While attempts to levitate small animals have been made, the biological effects of such levitation have been scarcely documented. Here, our goal was to explore if zebrafish embryos can be levitated (peak pressures at the pressure node and anti-node: 135 dB...

The investigation, development and fabrication of a magnetic levitated linear motion system, based on Switched Reluctance (SR) principle for high-acceleration and high-precision position control applications, are addressed in this paper. The proposed system is very suitable for applications that require highperformance linear motions: from high-precision manufacturing machines, clean-room wafer...

Magnetic levitation as a means of motion and force/torque control can provide many advantages for high-fidelity haptic interaction, as compared to motorized linkage and cable actuation. Impedance-based haptic interface devices function both as force display devices, generating forces and/or torques to be felt by the user, and as input devices, sensing the motions imparted by the user to the dev...

The electromagnetic levitation facility on board the International Space Station is used to investigate contactlessly and without gravity-induced convection thermophysical properties microstructure formations of hot, highly reactive metallic liquids. Despite widely forceless microgravity environment, small remaining forces still drive residual convective fluid flows inside levitated droplet, wh...
