Magnetic Levitating Turntable Concept Looks Impractical, Amazing

Rhea Jeong’s “void” turntable concept uses what would have to be incredibly strong and precise magnet control to levitate a record above its base. That little red ball on top of the vinyl is actually the needle.

We’re not sure how the music would be outputted—would there be a transmitter in the red sphere? It’s probably not worth worrying about that kind of minor issue as we’re pretty sure the entire idea is impossible, but it’s also creative and great to look at, and would almost certainly blow your parents’ minds.
