Magnetic Levitation Introduction Magnetic Levitation is a way to suspend objects in air without any support, as if in defiance of gravity. An unsung phenomenon of the past which is now being put to use in a variety of interesting and useful applications. As a child we must have seen a ping pong ball being levitated on an air stream at the output pipe of a vacuum cleaner. Magnetic levitation, also known as maglev is used in a similar way to levitate objects in air without any support, using magnetic field. Levitation is the process by which an object is suspended against gravity, in a stable position, without physical contact. For levitation on Earth, first, a force is required directed vertically upwards and equal to the gravitational force, second, for any small displacement of the levitating object, a returning force should appear to stabilize it. The stable levitation can be naturally achieved by, for example, magnetic or aerodynamic forces. Though any electromagnetic force could

Abstract
Most industrial and commercial processes are dependent on electrical power. In the event of power interruptions, the change-over from power supplied by a public utility to a generator is usually performed manually, often resulting in wasted time. Moreover, machine damage sometimes occurs because of human errors. These can cause significant financial losses. This paper presents the design and construction of an automatic phase change-over switch that switches electrical power supply from public supply to generator in the event of a power outage or insufficient voltage. The system uses an electronic control circuit involving integrated circuits, transistor and electromechanical devices.
