Levitating Cube

amazing results from just a few components

Published in issue 373, January 2008

Levitating Cube
For the first time in the Modding & Tweaking series we present a project that is not based around a microcontroller. Instead, we look at an experiment that has enchanted audiences for decades, updated with a laser diode and minimal control electronics. Before we start: this project sits firmly in the category of ‘classical experiments’. Anyone with a scientific background will surely have seen, performed, or at least thought about a similar trick before.
