Acoustic Levitator

thingiverse

In this project, I designed and built an Acoustic Levitator. To replicate it, you'll need to get your hands on the following components: Lm8uu Linear Bearing (available at shorturl.at/nANTV), 6000zz bearing (shorturl.at/pvNOX), a 10mm x 150mm long bolt and nut, an Arduino Uno (with the accompanying Arduino Sketch provided in the downloadable files), OC40K5 Transducer or The Ultrasonics Sensor hc sr 04 Transducer(TCT40-16T). Note that I've also included another STL file for the standard transducer; if you have a hc sr 04 Sensor, simply desolder the transducer and use it. If you're using the regular ones, keep the input voltage under 20 volts. You'll also require an L298D Motor Driver Module, a Boost Module 3-32V 4A XL6009 (which I tuned to 30volts), plenty of jumper wire, and two pieces of 150x50mm x 19mm plywood (you can use a box if you prefer, but I was feeling lazy so I left it open). I've attached the schematic, which is based on an article from Instructables that I drew inspiration from; however, I added a boost converter to increase power.
