levitator
One who hovers
A levitator is something or someone that levitates—rises or causes to rise in apparent defiance of gravity.
The word most often appears in science fiction or descriptions of magic acts: The magician billed himself as the Great Levitator.
In technical contexts, it may refer to a device that suspends objects using magnetic or acoustic forces.
