Levitation Air Screw

When the timer reaches zero at the end of a run, the driving air is turned off and levitation air
supports the rotor during its deceleration. If the flow of levitation air is too high and the rotor fails
to stop completely, or too low and the rotor stops too fast, adjustment of the
located on the rear panel may be necessary.

Chamber Components

Stator

The brass stator (see
air jets that levitate the rotor during deceleration. Levitation air operates automatically during
deceleration.

Stator Pad

The black stator pad (see
a run and when the rotor is at rest.
