An apparatus for levitating and transporting an object includes a pair of elongated vibrators, a pair of oscillators and a pair of flection limiting rods. Each oscillator includes a horn and a transducer and corresponds to one of the vibrators. Each transducer vibrates the corresponding vibrator through the corresponding horn to generate sound waves from the vibrator. The object is levitated by radiation pressure of the sound waves. Each flection limiting rod corresponds to one of the vibrators. Each rod contacts the lower surface of the corresponding vibrator at a position where the displacement due to vibration is relatively small and reduces the flection of the vibrator due to the weight of the vibrator and the weight of the transported object.
28 Conveying device US750744 1985-06-28 US4645182A 1987-02-24 Kurt Stoll
A conveying device more particularly suitable for use as a vertical hoist on construction sites or in industrial premises takes the form of a flexible and pliant hose-like pressure duct having a shuttle piston therein. The shuttle piston acts to seal off an internal portion of the duct and is fixed in place by way of a magnetic coupling with an external rider. The external rider is anchored in place so as to encompass the portion of the pliant duct in which the shuttle piston is located. The pliant duct is moved either up or down depending on whether fluid pressure is inserted into the duct above or below the fixed shuttle piston. By attaching a hook or the like to one end of the duct the pliant hose is capable of acting as a traction rope.

30 Apparatus and method for orthosonic lift by deflection US14194761 2014-03-02 US08967965B1 2015-03-03 David A Colasante
An apparatus and method for providing orthosonic lift by deflection includes a support surface and a wing surface in close proximity to the support surface. The space between the support surface and the wing surface defines a volume of air. An orthosonic lift generator causes the oscillating movement of air in the volume parallel to the wing surface. The oscillating movement of air results in a static air pressure on the wing surface of less than the ambient air pressure, resulting in a net force acting on the wing member.

39 Object levitating apparatus, an object transporting apparatus equipped with said apparatus, and an object levitating process US08796478 1997-02-10 US06455982B1 2002-09-24 Yoshiki Hashimoto
An object levitating apparatus, an object transporting apparatus, and an object levitating process are described which, simultaneous to not placing restrictions on the material and so forth of the objects handled, are able to handle objects having relatively large weights and dimensions, while also being compact in size, inexpensive, preferable in terms of safety and so forth, and easy to control. The above effects are obtained by exciting a vibrator and levitating or transporting an object above the surface of the vibrator by the radiation pressure of the sound waves of the vibrator, and in particular, since there are no vibration nodes present as a result of in-phase piston mode vibration, the dimensions of the object to be levitated and transported can be small.
