Description
Since the thruster is easy to swap, make a version that has embedded magnet and wireless power electronics so it can float on a levitation base.

Current Issues
A magnetic levitation option is currently difficult/impossible for 2 reasons.
-
The center of gravity is very far toward the back. The thruster angle and position needs changed and this may significantly modify the look of the model.
-
The magnet used for levitation is attenuating the magnetic field passing through the power coil. It currently gets the required 5v, but does not produce enough amperage.
Suggestion 1
Create a thruster design with space for manually wrapping a coil. Add several more wraps than the provided one to potentially make it more sensitive.
