Ever wondered how objects can float in mid-air without any strings or supports? With the Magnetic Levitating UFO 🛸, dive into the fascinating world of magnetic levitation (maglev) and explore the incredible forces that make it possible!
The Magnetic Levitating UFO is not just a fun 3D-printed object—it's a captivating way to learn about the principles of magnetic repulsion, force balance, and Lenz's Law. Perfect for curious minds, students, or anyone interested in physics, this model turns abstract concepts into a tangible, interactive experience.
Insert the magnets (16 magnets D10mm x 2mm) into the base and saucer.
⚠️ Warning: Make sure the poles are aligned to create repulsion between them before gluing!
Glue the other parts together (base, saucer, and axle).
Insert the axle into the base.
And you're done! Have fun watching your UFO hover and spin!
The UFO saucer and base contain hidden magnets. Magnets have north and south poles. By aligning the magnets with like poles facing each other, the saucer is pushed upward, creating a repulsive force that counteracts gravity. The result? A mesmerizing hovering effect that seems like magic but is pure science!

Magnetic levitation is used in maglev trains, contactless bearings, and energy storage systems. Similarly, the flying saucer model showcases this principle in a playful and educational way. The flying saucer model is a fun way to demonstrate these principles in physics education.
✨ Learn, experiment, and be amazed by the power of magnetism!
