Application No. 398: Floating sphere (Levitron) www.supermagnete.de/eng/project398 Here you can see the aluminium base plate with a 99 mm diameter and the two brass bearers.
View from below: Here is room for the electronics on the breadboard plate. The cables for supplying the cupola go through the boreholes.
Grooves in the brass bearers (6 mm deep, 2 mm wide) to hide the cables that run upwards.
The circuit board was fastened from below with four M3 screws.

Finish:
The cupola with the coil and the sensor is only lodged between the brass bearers. An o-ring (black) provides additional stability. The Hall sensor SS495 is situated in the small "bump" below. The cupola is closed with an aluminium lid. Below: Also playmobil character Bernd has fun with the Levitron.
