In the latest edition of cool things to come out of Japan: a Star Wars fan who goes by the name of @HanakiMasatoshi on Twitter has created a model of the Millennium Falcon that can levitate.
ミレニアムファルコン完成です。CREALEV社製の70mm浮く磁気浮上装置使って浮遊させ、エンジンは無線給電で発光します。装置の日本代理店である㈱ワイアードゲートさまとのコラボレーションで製作しました。二子玉川蔦屋家電で展示中です。#ローグワン #スターウォーズ #蔦屋家電 pic.twitter.com/egdv99zreT

In celebration of the new Star Wars film Rogue One, he built the model of the iconic starship by using a magnetic levitation system from a Dutch company called Crealev.
The parts he used allows the piece to hover 70 millimeters (or 2.8 inches) above the base.
It’s a neat little device and is actually his second time showcasing his levitating works. He previously made a smaller levitating Millennium Falcon last year in celebration of The Force Awakens.
