Here is the website. They are out of the Netherlands. I couldn't find any prices. You have to ask for a price quote. It does look pretty cool. I'm guessing it quite expensive. I don't know if it's silent, cause it uses electricity to make it work. Noise might be a factor.

I just got a price quote. It's $650.00 for the CLM-1 magnetic levitation module plus $88.00 shipping.

Reminded me of this: http://www.physics.org/facts/frog-really.asp

A team of scientists who worked on this idea were approached by some evangelicals to build one for a person. Takes all kinds.

I purchased this technology last fall from Home Depot for around $65.

Thanks for the news, bstokes. Have never seen that before. That price certainly puts it within easy reach.

That lamp would be great for a magic den, might have to get one if the shippings not too much.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Many years ago I bought a Levitron and watched it spinning for hours on end. It was truly hypnotic and a wonder to behold, once you got the thing spinning that was, it needed a real knack. I do want one of those lamps though.
