Magnetic Levitation

MAG LEV 

The Magnetic levitator was a  project started by Gabe Graham and I in the fall of 2006. In this project we used a microprocessor, hell effect, and  a coil to hover a permanent magnet. I later redesign the MAG LEV to be a self-contained system. After  some analysis and test I was able to improved the controller not only to improve stability but tracking and the ability to handle levitating a wide range of masses. Here are some videos of the MAG LEV.
