Magnetic levitation of a ferrofluid droplet in mid-air

A prototype magnetic levitation (maglev) system for feeding, holding and conveying ferrofluids successfully levitated a ferrofluid droplet with feedback control in the air at room temperature. This maglev system consists of a rod-shaped electromagnet, a displacement sensor, an oil-repellent film, a...
