Here’s a concept that could make noise. The designer Simon Morris has developed a levitating lamp named Flyte. Indeed, one can notice that a light bulb without flat screw rotates above a rectangular wooden base.
No magic, levitation is magnetic and the bulb is powered wirelessly by induction. There is no need for a battery, the light bulb is a low power-consumption LED. You engage FLYTE by simply touching the surface of the base, levitate, light can be switched on and off, with a touch sensor. The base is made in Sweden from oak, ash or walnut tree and is completely sustainable. An interesting feature is that the base also acts as a wireless charging station for your smartphone.
This project was in development for 5 years, and just made its appearance on Kickstarter , Simon Morris requires $ 80,000 to finalize Flyte, if you want to give it a little push, click here .
