Electrostatic levitation is a non-contact method of levitating an object using electrostatic force. A charged object is placed in an electrostatic field to achieve electrostatic equilibrium and levitate. This method cancels out the effects of gravity, and because it is non-contact, it eliminates the effects of the surroundings.
Matsusada Precision manufactures and sells power supplies used in experiments such as electrostatic fields.
