Ultrasonic Levitation Acoustique Electronic DIY Kit Levitator Simple and Affordable TinyLev Portable Acoustic Tractor
Un-assembled
Description
Acoustic levitation is an interesting phenomenon: it takes advantage of the fact that sound waves carry mechanical energy in order to exert force on an object. In this case, that force is directed against gravity to make the object levitate. Unlike magnetic levitation, acoustic levitation can be used on a wide range of materials (even insects), though it is a weaker force.
Use acoustic waves to hold in mid-air samples such as water, ants or tiny electric components. This technology has been previously restricted to a couple of research labs but now you can make it at your home and you would get amazing fun from this lab working!
This item is designed by UpnaLab. If you wonder to know more details or share your projects, please check on //www.instructables.com/id/Acoustic-Levitator/.

Haven’t put it together yet. Looks good. Will update after. Shipping was fast
All OK.
Package arrived very quickly (less than 2 weeks for France) and very well packed in a stong cardboard box. All works well (I built & tested it before giving feedback) - EXTREMELY PLEASED ! Notes : the power supply is with US plug (should have asked if european plug was possible) - the transducers do need to be polarity tested (about 1/3 wrongly labeled) - Nano needs to be programmed with code from "Instructables" (select board Atmega328P old boot loader) - had 4 extra transducers = very useful for tests with scope as receiver and as spares (once mounted, scope tests showed one of the 72 was not transmitting properly) - power consumption is about 0.7A @ 9V, so hbridge module gets hot (but is OK).
