After a brief history and critique of some older instruments, several new Levitron geometries are described. As a result of their greater stability these devices can be used as analogues of a number of phenomena and applications, including magnetic resonance techniques, atom traps and accelerator rings. In particular, the notion of the spinning magnet (or spignet) in a linear trap is similar to the mechanism underpinning the confinement of antihydrogen in a magnetic minimum trap, as achieved in experiments at CERN.

在对一些旧仪器进行简要介绍和评论之后，描述了几种新的 Levitron 几何结构。由于其更高的稳定性，这些设备可以用作许多现象和应用的类似物，包括磁共振技术、原子陷阱和加速器环。特别是，线性陷阱中的旋转磁铁（或针头）的概念类似于支持在最小磁性陷阱中限制反氢的机制，正如在欧洲核子研究中心的实验中实现的那样。
