Levitation of melts of about 10 grams in a protective atmosphere is described. There is a list, based on random experience, of materials that have been melted. Change of coil permits some temperature control. Shapes can be cast. There is a comparison with the technique of arc‐melting buttons, and a list of applications. An approximate formula for levitating force is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
