What are the object restrictions on Floating Ideas?
Objects must weigh less than 300 gm (12 ounces) and may contain only small amounts of iron or magnetic steel. Non- magnetic materials are preferred. The item to be levitated must be modified or designed to accept a magnet just underneath its top surface. There is a limit to the amount of ‘playing around’ (pulling up and down on the item while floating), and the related action of inserting/removing objects. Both actions cause maximum power draw and subsequently the electromagnet portion of the magnetic head heats up. Special powerful rare earth magnets must be used.
