The original Levitron has been called “…the best new science toy in a generation” by members of the American Association of Physics Teachers. Now the new Omega Levitron does its “older brother” one better by floating even higher. And thanks to the Starter (which Arbor Scientific throws in absolutely FREE), it’s even easier to use. The Levitron levitates in midair by harnessing the lifting power of two opposed permanent magnets.
