Like poles of a magnet repel. That single line of physics is the entire foundation of our levitation platform — an object held in mid-air with nothing supporting it, nothing touching it, nothing wearing out.
A permanent magnetic field carries the floating object: no contact, no friction, no mechanical parts to fail. Left alone, however, magnetism alone cannot hold anything still — physics won't allow it. Any static arrangement of magnets is inherently unstable; the floater will always find a way to flip, slide, or escape. So a continuous stabilization system works in the background: it senses the smallest drift of the floating object and applies precise, instant correction, thousands of times per second. The object doesn't just float — it holds its position.
Passive where possible, active where necessary
The engineering split is deliberate. The weight of the object is carried passively by permanent magnets — holding the load costs no power at all. The active system is reserved for the one thing passive physics cannot provide: stability. It watches the position of the floater continuously and nudges it back whenever it drifts, before the drift becomes visible.
The result is a platform that spends its energy only on being still. That keeps power draw low, heat low, and the hardware simple enough to run for years without service.
What you experience
- Silence. No fans, no motors, no moving parts. The system is inaudible in a quiet room.
- Stillness. Stable enough for objects that must not tremble.
- Grace. On power-off, the floating object settles gently — it descends, it doesn't drop.
- Endurance. With no contact and no friction, there is nothing to wear out.
Fail-safe is a behavior, not a feature
We don't treat power loss as an edge case. It is designed behavior. Cut the power and the floater doesn't fall — it settles, guided back down the same way it floats: under control. No free fall, no impact, no surprise. Safety here isn't a sensor or a checklist item; it's what the physics does when everything else stops.
Built for integration
The platform is available in multiple load capacities and form factors, with standard DC power input. Gleagle levitation modules are designed to disappear inside your product — your audience sees only the floating.
Load capacity, float height, dimensions and finish are engineered around the application. That is the customization work we do every day with OEM and ODM partners, from first sketch to mass production.
Frequently asked questions
- How much weight can it float? Configurable per module — from tens of grams to several kilograms. Custom load ranges on request.
- Is it safe for continuous operation? Yes. Solid-state design, no moving parts, with over-temperature protection and fail-safe descent behavior built in.
- Can it be customized to our product? That's the point. Form factor, float height, finish and load capacity can be engineered around your application.
