In fiction, magic makes levitation simple. With a easy swish-and-flick of his wand, Ron Weasley yanks a troll’s membership excessive above its head in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. By way of swish martial arts, component benders in TV’s Avatar sequence launch boulders and waves of water skyward. And an off-the-cuff gesture is all Marvel hero Scarlet Witch must fling away enemies.
In the true world, sound, magnets and electrical energy can all create upward forces sturdy sufficient to cancel out gravity. Simply don’t anticipate these levitation methods to toss boulders or unhealthy guys. At the least, not with out some outrageous — and harmful — upgrades.
We summarize the week’s scientific breakthroughs each Thursday.

Acoustic levitation gadgets use vibrations to carry objects aloft. These machines sometimes blast sound waves too high-pitched for people to listen to. The waves create alternating areas of high- and low-intensity “noise” within the air. Noisier areas push objects away, trapping them in pockets of relative quiet — however provided that the objects are very small and light-weight. Among the heaviest stuff to ever surf sound waves are Styrofoam beads.
Larger objects want longer, lower-frequency sound waves to cradle them, says Luke Cox, a mechanical engineer who heads Impulsonics in Bristol, England. He estimates you would want not less than 275-hertz sound waves with 1.25-meter wavelengths to levitate an individual. A bass guitar performs notes about that low. Nevertheless it must be devastatingly loud to elevate somebody off their toes.
You’d most likely want the power output of a nuclear energy plant to run such a tool, Cox muses. Plus a protect to guard anybody you levitated from the warmth generated by that quantity of energy. In any other case, your gnarly, nuclear-powered bass solo would possibly actually soften their face off.
Magnets get objects a lot larger than individuals off the bottom with out destroying them. As an illustration, those on maglev practice automobiles and rails work together to make the trains hover simply centimeters above their tracks.
Utilizing magnetism to levitate one thing not strapped to a magnet is trickier, however not inconceivable. Many seemingly nonmagnetic supplies, together with water and proteins, are diamagnetic: In a powerful magnetic discipline, they grow to be weakly magnetized and begin to repel the sector.
In 1997, scientists famously used that reality to levitate a frog. They positioned the creature inside nested coils of wire that created a magnetic discipline 16 teslas sturdy — or about 10 occasions the power of magnets used to choose up automobiles in junkyards. That was simply sufficient to buoy the frog to close the highest of the 18-centimeter-tall inside coil of wire.
You could possibly theoretically levitate an individual this manner. It will take one heck of a magnet, although. One of many frog floaters estimated in 1998 that you just’d want a 40-tesla discipline created by a magnet working on 1 gigawatt of energy — roughly half the output of the Hoover Dam.
Ballooning spiders use a unique method of levitation. They electrically cost themselves up by spinning out lengthy threads of silk, says Igor Bargatin, a physicist on the College of Pennsylvania. That cost permits the spiders to elevate off in Earth’s electrical discipline after which journey the wind as much as kilometers excessive.

The spidey method of levitation received’t work for big objects like individuals, Bargatin says. You’d must construct up a lot cost that you just’d find yourself triggering lightning strikes round you and fry your self earlier than ever taking off.
Even when real-world levitation by no means measures as much as on-screen superpowers, it could possibly nonetheless be helpful. Acoustic levitation may present hands-off dealing with of lab samples to keep away from contamination. Magnetic levitation may make elements of motors float, permitting them to spin quicker with out sporting down. And scientists proceed dreaming up new makes use of for levitation — ones that don’t trigger lethal collateral harm.
