The Novium Hoverpen Interstellar is a ballpoint pen machined from aerospace-grade aluminum that levitates above a zinc-alloy base using calibrated magnetic repulsion, with no electricity or batteries. At rest it hovers at a 23.5-degree tilt, the same angle as Earth's axis, and it can spin freely on the base like a kinetic desk toy. It uses standard Schmidt D1 refills, so it writes like a normal quality pen, and an 18K gold-plated ring adds a finished look. Best fit: a design-forward desk centerp

  • Uses standard Schmidt D1 refills, so it writes like a real pen
  • Makes an unforgettable gift or desk centerpiece

Cons

  • It is priced as a display object, so it costs far more than a pen you would toss in a bag

Frequently asked questions

How does it float?

The zinc-alloy base generates a magnetic field that suspends the pen through calibrated repulsion. There is no electricity or battery involved.

Can you actually write with it?

Yes. It takes standard Schmidt D1 ballpoint refills and writes normally. The base stays on your desk as a stand.

Does it need batteries or charging?

No. The levitation is purely magnetic, so there is nothing to charge or replace except the ink refill.

Is it a good gift?

It is designed as a statement piece and gifts well for desk setups, graduations, and people who are hard to shop for.
