- Acoustic levitators are becoming an increasingly common research instrumentation for contact-free, lab-in-a-droplet studies. Recently, levitators that employ multiple, small, ultrasonic transducers have gained popularity, given their low price, temperature and spatial stability, low voltage, and accessibility. Yet, the current state-of-the-art device, TinyLev, presents limitations for certain applications in terms of stability, strength, and compactness. Herein, we developed three new levitators and evaluated the effect of the construction parameters (e.g., distance of opposing arrays, number and arrangement of transducers, etc.) on their performance. Compared to TinyLev, the best performing levitator from this work had half the number of transducers while presenting 1.7 and 3.5 times higher levitation capacity along the horizontal and vertical configurations, respectively, while the horizontal and vertical stability of a levitated object was improved 4.7 and 2.0 times, respectively. Additionally, we present a direct means to evaluate the acoustic radiation net force acting on a deformable object for uniaxial levitators, without the use of a microphone or a schlieren deflectometer for this type of levitators. The theoretical and experimental observations provide insights for adapting the acoustic levitator design for specific applications. Finally, we developed an open-source software which allows the evaluation of the acoustic pressure field generated by customized designs and provides the necessary files for 3D printing the scaffold of the levitator. This study aims to increase accessibility and promote further developments in contact-free experiments.
