Could I take the globe apart and make the magnet inside levitate something else (say, a back to the future hoverboard model ...)

If you are an engineer you could attempt it with confidence. Should not be too hard if you get the geometry right but then you could just make your own. The object centre of gravity must be kept below the magnetic centre of lift and their vertical axes must coincide. The sweet spot is very small so this is going to take effort. This design is optimised for a round object. For a hoverboard I would try something else. You at least need to mount a model person on the board to raise the magnetic lift point. Hope that helps.

Yes you can & it is very easy to do. Weight is a consideration to remember.Please watch video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA7vw0X3dBE

It takes a little patience to get it to levitate between the magnets. You have to find the sweet spot in the middle. Then you can spin it.

Yes...have not tried that, but the magnets will work for that...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....

You can take it out, both hemispheres on (or off) to form the globe :) . Don't know the size of the magnet, fits in your palm, it should be about the diameter of the globe itself.

Gravity-activated? Sorry, I don't know ~ as the item I have (this one) is a hand-twist model...

Sure, you could do that. Obviously, the open/close function would not work - it depends on movement of the magnet portion. But the temperature and acceleration functions should still work.

I haven't tried that yet, but I don't see why not. Keep the led light low voltage but with plenty of lumen. I think the idea is for low heat. It will work. Make sure led bulb isn't oversized, the globe wont snap back on...the original bulb isn't very large.

If you float the magnet and let it settle it usually rocks back and forth slowly then you should be able to set the bottle centered on the magnet. I am floating a six inch diameter model of the Invader's flying saucer on mine with no problem. An LED will turn off if you are leaning too far toward it's corner. I find this Levitron has a better balancing circuit than the previous unit with a rounded case.

I would not glue the pieces together, period. They do not separate. The metal "spine" makes separation virtually impossible. Plus, if you ever want to do a dismantle of the model you are up that proverbial "creek!"

I didn't try myelf but I can guess ya why not, if the magnets were repelling u can easly take off the rubber cover (one with infiniapps logo) and flip the magnets (4 tiny ones), I took it off to make some adjusment

i gave this as a gift & don't know the answer to these questions. i didn't see any update available & the globe appeared to be permanently attached to the stand

You can't pop the magnets out since the frame itself is the magnet. But there are screw holes in the frame if you wish to screw it onto the chassis.

Most likely, you would disrupt the the magnetic flow and it would fall. You could try it as long as your hand isn't between the top of the globe and the magnet. But I feel if you try to spin it, it will disrupt the flow and fall.

interesting Q.... I just tried mine (not yet mounted) and yes it grabbed very well to the metal refrig side. It would probably take the magnet with it tho' as you draw. I'd use a couple small screwsShould work fine. The magnets are VERY powerful. I have two I just received and they will leap together and would nip a fingertip off if you are not careful.Steve

Yes , the dome come's in 2 separate piece's and can easily be completely separated into 2 piece's again at any time. Enjoy your mirage 3-d instant hologram maker and have a nice day :) Science is so much fun !!!

The magnet is as big as the piece itself. Made from the board it was cut from. I don't believe you can even peel it off.

To be honest, I've never tried that, it's much safer to pull it apart, you don't need to disassemble it completely though so moving it around shouldn't be too tough
