levitystekniikka
Levitystekniikka, or levitation technology, refers to methods and systems for suspending objects in a surrounding medium or in air, counteracting gravity through non-contact means. In Finnish usage the term covers a family of techniques based on distinct physical principles, including magnetic, optical, acoustic, and electrostatic levitation, as well as aerodynamically supported arrangements. The field spans scientific research, industrial processing, and artistic presentation.
Magnetic levitation uses magnetic fields to counter gravity, with applications ranging from maglev transport to contactless
In practice, levitystekniikka enables non-contact handling, reduced wear, and contamination-free processing in research and manufacturing. It
Challenges include achieving stable, precise control; energy efficiency; and scaling to larger objects. The field remains
