Hi,

when came across news of this product late last year, it looked very
much like a scam. Now I'm not so sure.

This link was published by the makers on May 30 this year.

Only 12W of power consumption and the TT floats & rotates 50mm above
the base.


How ?

If you want to know about Mag Lev look up Professor Eric Laithwaite -
he was the guy (Imperial College London?) who more or less invented
it. There should be plenty of links from there.


He was part of it, but he was also a raving lunatic who thought
flywheels possessed magic powers. He was my prof for a while and we
always left his lectures laughing.
