Levitate Your Stereo Like All Real Audiophiles Do With the Zero Gravity Shelf

Why does your home stereo system sound like shit? Because it’s not floating on magnets, of course.

“Wow!” was basically my reaction to this video of the Fly Stick levitating toy in action, followed by the realization that this is about as near as you’ll ever get to really playing with magic (or the Force, my inner geek reminded me). Of course the forces it uses are all very real: it’s a…

In the future, everything will levitate. Take for example Angela Jansen’s floaty lamp, shown by the Netherlander firm Crealev at a show during Dutch Design Week. (Oh, you don’t attend?)

Magnetic Levitation Photo Frame

Don’t settle for just a plain old picture frame when you can have a picture frame suspended in mid-air.
