Levitation is the process by which an object is suspended against gravity, in a stable position, without physical contact. It is also a conjuring trick, apparently raising a human being (or other object) without any physical aid. The illusion can be produced by clever mechanics lighting arrangements and other means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitate

To levitate a human body, the weight is too large. A "force" which is unable to work due to an object not having the same average density as air. The Casmir effect is the transfer of the force between objects.

Therefore, a force between the ground (in which to levitate off) and body mass (which is frictioned against gravity) is needed. However the density of air and force to accure is not dense enough to beable to allow a friction of force between both objects or matter.

How do people levitate objects?

People cannot levitate objects using telekinesis or any other supernatural abilities. Levitating objects is typically done using tricks, illusions, or specially designed equipment to create the appearance of objects floating in the air.


How can I levitate?

You cannot. Levitation is not possibleAnswer:While levitation in the magic sense (good for flying carpets, saints and such after repeating a fer mystic phrases) is not possible, physics experiments have demonstrated ithat living organisms can levitate in very strong and managed magnetic fields. This falls short of the "levitate and fly around the room" ability, but it does demonstrate the process (See Links). If you cheat a bit and levitate a magnetic material a person can stand on the levitating platform.


How does a maglev vehicle levitate?

A maglev vehicle uses powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that repels against the metal track, causing the vehicle to levitate. This levitation eliminates the need for wheels, allowing the vehicle to glide smoothly and quietly along the track.


How do you levitate something?

== == You need to get a pair of trousers and cut the center of the left part. Then you need to get chair, but at this part you don't face the audience. Then you should need to get your left foot into the hole. Next you should be able to levitate by standing on the chair with your left foot and getting a shoe on the left trouser stuck on, and then you put a shoe on you right foot to get the illusion by standing.You send them into outer space.==Special Cases==Superconductors can be levitated by simply putting a magnet under themFerromagnetic materials can levitate in the magnetic null zoneParamagnetic materials can levitate in strong magnetic fields
