EXCERPT: I'm currently working on a project about food growing. In order to do it I need a bench to bend plastic (acrylic) easly to make the main structure. The goal is to bend plastic and also being able to make precise curvy bends.
I have seen some DIY project that propose to heat up a wire of nichrome from a batteryy/variac and other...
DIY Electro-Magnetic Levitation!

EXCERPT: This is a project that will amaze and inspire! What good is all of that science know-how if we can't do something cool with it, right? With this project we are going to use a couple of components that are easy to make or find to build a jaw dropping, mind bending Electromagnetic Levitator, or EMLEV as I call it. With the help of some simple circuitry, a magnet, a Hall Effect sensor and a few other components you will be able to levitate objects in mid air! Let's get started....
