ABSTRACT:
An object levitating apparatus, an object transporting apparatus equipped with said object levitating apparatus, and an object levitating bearing as well as an object levitating process and object transporting 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, transporting or bearing an object above the surface of the vibrator by the radiation pressure of the sound waves of the vibrator.
