Forgive me if I'm wrong, I really don't want to burst anyone's bubble,
but, last I new they were still having trouble "supercooling" electronic
gizmo's to effectively create levitation of a "Very small" metal disk,
in fact the problem is that there seems to be a threashold that
competing scientific  communities are trying to beat, this may or may
not be in conjunction with smiconductor advancement, I can't remember
exactly.
     Levitation, by way of opposition to the earth's (or any other large
mass) magnetic field is in fact a "very" realistic concept, the problem
being that if anyone truly can achieve this feat with any measure of
success, I garauntee it is part of a "Black project" and it will be a
long time before "we" are privy to any benefit(s).
Just MHO!
