Discover the wonders of magnetism by using trial and error to make your magnetic gyroscope float on a magnetic platform. See the amazing phenomenon when like magnetic poles push each other away.
Spin, lift, and make your gyroscope levitate. Watch it hang in the air!Explore gyroscopes, magnets, gravity, and more!
Using this Smithsonian Magna Levitating Magnetic Gyroscope is a fun and educational experience. First, give the gyroscope a good spin. Then, carefully place it above the magnetic platform. Use trial and error to find the right spot where it will start to levitate and hover in mid - air. It might take a few tries, so be patient. When handling the gyroscope, hold it gently to avoid damage. Also, keep it away from other strong magnets as it can disrupt the magnetic field. After each use, store it in a dry and safe place. This will help keep the gyroscope and the magnetic platform in good condition for long - term use.
