A 3D printing enthusiast an fan of the popular online game Overwatch has created a floating "Hypersphere."

A Hypersphere is described as a "set of points at a constant distance from a given point called its centre," and is also a weapon in the game.

Brandon Vo of Los Angeles created the in-game weapon with a 3D printer and mounted it with electromagnets to give it the effect of levitation.

Vo explained online: "It's a powered device that uses electromagnets and regular magnets to keep a puck - which is also a magnet - floating and rotating, so in a sense, yes it's being repulsed.

"The hypersphere cage and the core uses regular neodymium magnets for assembly - need to take the core apart to charge the LED light inside.

"Then it just sits on top of the puck - basically just needs to balance on top of it.

"The core itself is suspended inside of the cage using a magnet on one end and fishing wire on the other - so the magnet pulls the core down and the fishing wire on the other end keeps it 'suspended'."

As of 2018, Overwatch had at least 40 million active players.

An Overwatch fan put together a 3D-printed "hypersphere" from the game and combined it with a levitating electromagnetic base to create a stunning display that seems to defy gravity.
