The levitator is surpringly flexible with weight carrying and object carrying, needing only changes in fixed magnets, if anything, to levitate the items. Often, no extra magnet is needed on this 22gauge 16ohm coil. All parts are from recycled junk. Power is from a converted computer power supply, needing the -12V output for this op-amp.
