Hover Crafts Lighthouse with Magnetic Levitation

Originally designed and patented by a physicist, The Hover Crafts Lighthouse uses magnetic levitation to create an nifty kinetic model.

The horizontal shaft is held in mid-air by magnetic levitation. The lack of friction allows the propeller to rotate for a long time.

Each piece is carved from Mahogany wood and has been tuned.
