Fascinations Levitron Self Starter
The LEVITRON has been called the best new science toy in a generation - by members of the American Association of Physics Teachers, and it is the perfect gift for the person that has everything. Spin the top - and watch it float. The Levitron spins and surfs on magnetic waves. Pass your hand above, underneath, and around the top. It will continue to spin and float only touching air. The LEVITRON floats free in space, supported only by the repelling magnetic force produced by permanent magnets (no batteries required.). A scientific theorem, that was advanced over a century ago, states that this is impossible - yet this amazing top levitates right before your eyes. You must see it to believe it.
