SSY Ultrasonic Levitation Kit

Product detailed description

The SSY Ultrasonic Levitation Kit is an educational and fascinating device that allows you to levitate small, lightweight objects (such as foam balls) using acoustic levitation. By assembling the kit, you can verify the principle of levitation based on standing ultrasonic waves. The module is great for physics experiments, education, and fun home experiments.

Key features:

• Levitation using ultrasound – no magnet needed
• Suitable for lightweight objects (e.g. polystyrene, small balls)
• Operating frequency of speakers: ~40 kHz
• Power supply: 12 V DC
• Intuitive assembly – simple soldering and assembly using standoffs
• Didactic value – demonstration of acoustic phenomena, working with IC circuits

Specifications:

• Power supply: 12 V DC (1–2 A recommended)
• Operating frequency: approx. 40 kHz
• Number of speakers: 2 × ultrasonic (coaxial arrangement)
• Control elements: EEPROM (STC), MOSFET, driver 4427
• Assembly: Soldering + mechanical connection with boards
• Boards: 2× speaker, 1× control
• Weight of levitated object: very low (e.g. EPS ball)

Package contents:

• 1x SSY Ultrasonic Levitator Kit

Comment:

• The kit requires basic soldering knowledge – suitable for intermediate hobbyists or under supervision.
• Precise centering of the speakers and their distances is essential for the levitation function.
• Not intended as a toy – contains sharp components, strong acoustic waves and a power circuit.
• 12 V power supply not included.
