Enginursday: How to Build a Levitating Light

Check out our latest tutorial on levitating magnets and creating a wireless light!

A couple years ago, I showed off a project where I made a levitating light.The post had some traction initially, and slowly fell back into the shadows of the internet...or so I thought. Recently, there's been an increase in the comments from customers that were trying to build one themselves but having some difficulty getting it working. If you didn't see it, below is the original video I filmed for the post.

Because of the renewed interest, and the complexity of the build, a short video doesn't go into enough detail. So I wanted to revisit the project and make a tutorial that walks through the more intricate details involved. If you were someone that saw the post and wanted to make it but needed more information, or if this is your first time hearing about it and you would like to build one, check out our new tutorial!
