Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

OK Mike Sorry, just looked like it was in DOF mode the bg was sharp but the spinner was fuzzy, you didn't say it was spinning when you took the shot. I like the top shot of the three here where I can get a real good look at it and the bottom looks a bit like yesterdays shot where it is blurry and the BG is sharp as yes it is spinning folk lol..
mikeerson
let's see it in action Mike... It just looks like a double edged nose trimmer to me = lol

Three Awesome Images.

Oh, well, now that you've explained it - never mind (with apologies to Emily Latella). Interesting set of pictures.

these are better than the first post.I like the top.I am going to do a search for one of these.may not be able to afford although

Does it really levitate or is it fixed to a spindle on the side there? Seems to me that if it were 'at rest' it would be lying in the trough. Sorry for the questions, but I'm a bit confused...or maybe not. Cool pic :)

But is it levitating? How does it work? Do you have to plug it in? More info please. I'm hooked.

Here is a link where you can still buy them Mike. I paid $5.00 for mine but that is about 10 years ago. now they are about $9.00. So still quite affordable as a desk toy. http://www.amazon.com/magnetic-levitator-classic-ultimate-anti-gra/dp/B0038I6R2Q?SubscriptionId=AKIAIC7OGUB5FWDR6DJQ&tag=howtogetfre03-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B0038I6R2Q

I have yet to buy one of these, but I've seen them around. I rather like the way it vaguely resembles the "unimpressive" aspects of a probable alien engine of some sort. It would seem that when technology becomes sufficiently advanced and able to do things far more efficiently, that many of the "familiar" aspects of "machinery" fall by the wayside and we get things that sit still (or spin) while doing lots of work, but with fewer moving parts. I love that, and I'm intrigued not only by this bit of scientific photography, but by the possibilities that frictionless spin might open up, especially in terms of just every day stuff where maglev technology might come in handy: provided we don't nuke ourselves or suffer cultural meltdown first. I love these shots, especially the top frame showing the object at rest.
