What is the levitating lightbulb?

FLYTE is a levitating light bulb that hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered through the air. Designed in Sweden, the FLYTE base is made of sustainably sourced oak, ash and walnut. FLYTE use energy efficient LEDs rated at about 50,000 hours. That’s equivalent to 12 hours of usage a day for 11 years.

How does a levitating light bulb work?

The Flyte bulb works by a combination of induction and magnetism. The unit is formed of a base, which is connected to a standard power supply, and the specially made lightbulb. While gravity pulls the lightbulb towards the base, it is pushed up by the opposing force of the magnetism.

How do you make a levitating magnet?

Here’s how to build your own:

Create Opening for Power Supply. Drill a ½” hole in the back of the cigar box for the power cord to feed through.
Place Base and Plug. Connect the power cord to the electromagnet base, and close the box.
Remove Can Top.
Attach Magnet Disc.
Add Your Greenery.

How do you make a magnet levitate?

The basic idea is to make a magnet float by holding it up with the repelling force from another magnet. Magnets can repel each other with enough force. Having enough force to levitate it isn’t the problem.

How is levitation trick done?

The trick is performed by standing on the front of one foot, while raising the one foot and the visible part of the other foot, blocking the view of the front of the supporting foot with the other foot and rear part of the supporting foot. This illusion was first described by Ed Balducci in 1974.

Who invented the levitating light bulb?

Simon Morris, the art scientist has invented a revolutionary wireless light bulb that levitates, innovative and high-design for home decor. The concept was inspired by a hoverboard when he was a child. This smart FLYTE levitating light bulb cleverly uses magnets to float in the air and hover above a wooden base.

Who created the Flyte levitating light bulb?

Short Bytes: Simon Morris has invented a light bulb that combines magnetic levitation with the power transmission- ‘Flyte’. It consists of an LED bulb with a wireless power receiver and an electromagnet in its bottom.

How do levitating things work?

In Maglev, superconducting magnets suspend a train car above a U-shaped concrete guideway. Like ordinary magnets, these magnets repel one another when matching poles face each other. Here, both magnetic attraction and repulsion are used to move the train car along the guideway.

What is inside the light?

The filament sits in the middle of the bulb, held up by a glass mount. The wires and the filament are housed in a glass bulb, which is filled with an inert gas, such as argon. When the bulb is hooked up to a power supply, an electric current flows from one contact to the other, through the wires and the filament.

Is magnetic levitation possible?

A theorem due to Earnshaw proves that it is not possible to achieve static levitation using any combination of fixed magnets and electric charges. Static levitation means stable suspension of an object against gravity.

When was the levitating light bulb made?

One of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2016 and winner of the Lighting Product Design of 2017, Flyte’s iconic levitating light bulb has been the subject of conversation in homes and offices across the world. Flyte hovers in mid-air using magnetic levitation and is powered wirelessly through the air.

When was Flyte invented?

2015
Founded in 2015, after it exceeded the funding goal for its first levitating light bulb on Kickstarter, FLYTE has now become the leading levitation design company. When FLYTE founder Simon Morris was 16 years old, he dreamed of having a hover board.
