Two men in ridiculous clown makeup were seen staring at it in disbelief.

I'm just waiting for the honored matres imprint me.

They're not returning your calls are they? That's OK, we have Baron Harkonnen on line one for you.

1000 Ways to Dye: Created by Light Light (a Dutch lighting firm run by designer Angela Jansen and electrical engineer Ger Jansen), the Silhouette Floating Lamp uses electromagnets that enable its top half to levitate a few inches over its bottom half.

It may sound precariously assembled, but, in fact, its fluctuating top sector is unexpectedly durable, while the latest LED technology ensures the impressive-looking unit glows brightly without ravenous power-consumption.

I wonder how much juice those electromagnets use.

Not sure, plus how does the electricity get to the top part. Induction? Or is it simply batteries?

You ever see those huge cranes at junk yards that lift cars with huge electromagnetic disks . They draw as little as 6 volts and lift several tons . I never understood that. It has to do with the number of twists of wire more than the power. Also, the magnet isn't doing the lifting just providing the "stickiness". The disk has to be touching the car to work. It doesn't have enough strength to get the car to life up I think by even an inch or two but it can hold the entire weight of the car when touching. That always freaked me out.

Voltage is only half of power

The aren't running much current either. Basically running off a small car battery so maybe about 200 amps. Now I will have to look it up.

I just checked out the company website. It looks like the LEDs are in the bottom half of the lamp facing upwards. The floating part just diffuses it.

Cool. I'd pay $100-$150 for that so I guess I will have to wait for a few years and then it won't be as cool. Wish I had more money.

Blind_Io: Sound like impressive decor for a mighty fine shindig.

/obscure?

No
