A solder ball being levitated and heated by a strong electric AC field generated by two coils.
As soon as it gets too hot the induced force won't be sufficient to keep the ball levitating.
By falling down "stuff" can be soldered...

The "red halves" of the ball show that it oscillated during the exposure time.

The picture is beautiful by itself, but with the extra explanation it is even better. Thanks for sharing :)

What gave you the idea to conduct this experiment?

Well, we have such a machine at our company and thought that a levitating red-hot solder ball would make a nice pic :)

Very interesting. If you use a superconductor, temperature wouldnt be such a limit. Room temperature superconductors will be invented one day.

Well, since it is actually desired that the solder balls drop when they reached a certain temperature, superconducting balls wouldn't be really usefull.. ;)

Ohhh, you mean your objective isn't to keep it in the air for extended durations. How much voltage and current passes through those wires?
