    Default Acoustic levitation

    Here is a good project for dark stormy nights.

    I can't help but think this project needs smoke and lasers!

    That's cool.
    A laser pointed on to one of those fast spinning foil disks would be pretty cool.

    Honestly, I think the old ping pong ball floating over the exhaust hose of a vacuum cleaner is more impressive.

    Probably a lot cheaper and safer too.

    I must admit, I don't think I'd touch that thing while it's on for fear of disintegrating finger bones or vibration induced white-finger.
    I thought it was impressive when he visualised the standing waves with dry ice and on the soap film.
