Abstract
A magnetic levitation device for levitating a marker or suspending the marker away from the device having a housing having an outer portion and a lower portion. The device has an electromagnetic configuration positioned on disc and the disc can move or rotate the marker at a constant or variable speed. The rotating disc is configured with the electromagnetic configuration and a gear assembly.
Claims12
A magnetic levitation timing device for levitating a marker or suspending the marker away from the device, comprising:
- a housing having an outer portion and a lower portion, wherein the housing is at an angle greater than 10 degrees from a horizontal;
- an electromagnetic configuration that suspends or levitates marker the marker so that the marker can move or rotate at a constant or variable speed on, about or around the outer portion of the housing, wherein the electromagnetic configuration has an oscillation assembly comprising an electromagnet, and a levitation driver capable of driving the electromagnet with a control signal to generate a controlled levitating magnetic field;
- a counterweight away from the electromagnetic configuration;
- a rotating disc configured with the electromagnetic configuration, wherein the electromagnetic configuration rests on the disc and the counterweight rests on the disc;
- and
- a gear assembly configured with a motor and the rotating disc to move or rotate the electromagnetic configuration.

- a counterweight away from the electromagnetic configuration;
- a rotating disc configured with the electromagnetic configuration, wherein the electromagnetic configuration rests on the disc and the counterweight rests on the disc, the counterweight is on the disc so to stabilize the movement of the electromagnetic configuration while the device is at an angle with respect to the horizontal, wherein the rotating disc is configured with the rotating assembly;
- and the rotating assembly includes a motor with a gear mounted on another gear arranged in a motor housing on the rotating disc;
- and a gear assembly configured with a motor to move or rotate the electromagnetic configuration, wherein the housing has a lower surface and the lower surface is configured to secure the device such that the marker is held or suspended.
