When magnetic levitation meets speakers, is it a matter of technology or creativity?

When it comes to maglev, I believe most people will first think of maglev trains. In fact, in addition to the field of transportation, this technology has been applied in various fields. Common table lamps, washing machines, induction cookers, mice, bras, display stands, globes, etc. in daily life have all had their "maglev" versions. Every time this technology appears, it can bring amazing sci-fi effects to ordinary products.

Recently, this technology has been used in speaker manufacturing. Today, Xiaodiandian introduces the Herman 1, a magnetic levitation speaker. Let's see if the technology of this magic device is still as magical as before.
Why Hermann?
Hermann, a German engineer, proposed the principle of electromagnetic levitation in 1922 and applied for a patent for the maglev train in 1934.
Does the move of Shengwu Technology to name new products after patent initiators mean a return to technology? So what is the principle of this technology?
In fact, the suspension of the metal ball is achieved by using the eddy current generated by the high-frequency electromagnetic field on the metal surface. When a metal sample is placed on a coil with a high-frequency current, the high-frequency electromagnetic field will generate a high-frequency eddy current on the surface of the metal material. This high-frequency eddy current interacts with the external magnetic field, causing the metal sample to be affected by a Lorentz force. This force offsets the gravity of the metal ball, allowing it to maintain a state of balance in the air.
In any case, the birth of Hermann 1 always makes more people know that there was such a scientist in the last century. According to relevant sources, Hermann 2, which can adjust the suspension height autonomously, will be produced in the future.
Family-oriented usage scenarios


If I only saw the base, I would have thought it was a mini induction cooker. I wonder if this design also echoes the home use scenario of the product?



In fact, leaving aside the magnetic levitation, Herman 1 is just an ordinary wireless speaker that can be connected to mobile devices via Bluetooth to achieve the effect of public playback. The sound quality is similar to that of ordinary speakers of the same size. In addition, the speaker also comes with a microphone device, which users can use to make and receive calls. Of course, this function is probably not suitable for public places such as offices.
Unlike similar products that charge the speaker body directly through a charger, Herman 1 can use the base to charge the speaker wirelessly. This is actually a process of electricity generating magnetism and magnetism regenerating electricity. Although there is bound to be energy loss in the process, the power can basically meet the function of the speaker playing while floating. The speaker body is also equipped with a charging port to deal with emergencies.


In addition to suspension, Herman 1 is also equipped with the latest gesture recognition technology, which undoubtedly further enhances the product's quality. Below is a video of Xiaodiandian testing its gesture recognition.



Cool is the strongest experience
As can be seen from the video, there are basically no major problems with the gesture control of Herman 1.
During the test, Xiaodiandian found that the most attractive feature of this speaker is not the sound quality, but its cool floating function. This speaker that can float in the air and sing has not only attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in the office, but also attracted many girls to inquire about it in Xiaodiandian’s circle of friends, which has been silent for a long time. It seems that this world has begun to be judged by appearance.
At present, the official price of Herman 1 is 1299 yuan. I believe that some netizens who want to show off by using this product have given up their original intention after seeing this. The mid-to-high-end market is the main route of this product. It can be seen that the creativity of a product is sometimes more valuable than the technology itself.
