A plant floating in air, sounds unbelievable right? Well, going by a recent experiment in Japan, the concept of plants standing suspended in air is possible. The Japanese decided that their tiny bonsais should be not only cute but cool too, so they made them float in the air.
The designers at The Hoshinchu Team named their creation “Air Bonsai.” It consists of the bottom part called the “energy base” and a floating ball called “little star.” Both halves have repelling magnets installed inside so that the “little star” could float with the bonsai on top. The force of the magnets opposing each other is adjusted so that it is neither too strong nor too weak to drop the plant.
The base is made of traditional Japanese porcelain and the bonsai can be replaced with any other plant. Isn’t that magical?
