The Levitating Lamp!

I found The Levitating Lamp at a "Holiday in July" gift event. It's from a company known for finding off-beat gadgets, Hammacher-Schlemmer. This is a lamp with a rotating shade that floats in mid-air about 3" above its base. The disconcerting desk lamp creates a physics-defying gap between the base and shade that may perplex guests and amuse the owner, who knows its secret. A magnet tucked into the lampshade is repelled by electromagnetic coils in the lamp’s base, a powerful opposing force that causes the shade to levitate. The computerized coils make 1,000 adjustments per second to ensure the shade stays upright, even when bumped, while the swirling pattern accentuates the natural spinning motion caused by air currents. As functional as it is magical, the lamp has nine bright white LED bulbs: six that shine upward into the shade, three that shine downward to provide accent lighting for the brushed chrome stand. Each group of lights is controlled with a quick tap on the underside of the base. Plugs into AC. 16 1/2" H x 7 1/2" Diam. (5 lbs.) $149.95. The company is currently taking orders - and it's expected to ship 8/4/2015
