The guys behind it actually do a good job of explaining how it works, but man... if they could figure out a way to get superconductors to work at higher temperatures (currently have to douse them in liquid nitrogen) these things could have SOOOO many applications O.O

Well .... in my experience, physics majors have a tendancy to answer questions with an equation, not words. So you can ask, and they may answer, but then we'd have to find someone to translate the answer into English. Now that I think about, even if they do use words we may still need a translator to put it into English.

I wouldn't be so sure. There are some smart cats out there. Apex Paul has something like a dozen different science degrees.

Want a cool toy that's somewhat similar to this? Check out the Levitron Revolution. Well, the concept is different and it can only be stationary, but it's still awesome.

Yeah, I was wondering if they could also use electro magnets to adjust the height of levitation as well. Would freaking amazing if you could use some sort of super electro magnet to put this thing into orbit!
