feat: magnetic levitation thruster #6

@chriswblake

Description

@chriswblake

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.

Possible Parts

Current Issues

A magnetic levitation option is currently difficult/impossible for 2 reasons.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
