levitators
Defiers of gravity
Levitators are people or things that levitate—that rise or cause to rise and hover in the air, defying gravity.
The word appears in discussions of magic acts, science fiction, and paranormal claims: The stage levitators used hidden wires.
In technology, it describes devices that suspend objects magnetically or acoustically: acoustic levitators can hold small droplets in midair.
