Faraday’s law of induction is a topic that students may remember from high school, but it’s rare to see an impressive application of the theory. The science video blog Veritasium travelled to the ...

We’re replacing “holy moley” in our vocabulary. Levitating globs of molten aluminum are that much more amazing. It’s not that we couldn’t believe it would work — we understand the physics after the ...

Electromagnetic induction can be used to do a lot of fun things, like levitating a 1kg aluminum plate, for example. Veritasium explains the particulars of the feat.

It would be really fun to do an entire hallway of these levitating wireless lights. This a project on which [Chris Rieger] has been working for about six months. It uses magnetic levitation and ...

The idea of levitating off the ground has been a staple of science fiction dreams and human imagination since time immemorial. While we don't have our hoverboards just yet, we do have the very real ...

You can thank brainy billionaire Elon Musk's Hyperloop proposal for bringing electro-magnetic-powered transportation and the linear induction motor back into the public consciousness. The Hyperloop is ...
