So is this for real, or a kickstarter designed to cheat me out of my
hard-earned money?

let's see, how many things can go wrong here.

1) the stylus has weight required for proper tracking. It will want to
tilt the platter, and the torque will vary from edge to center.

2) there's friction at the stylus, making the platter want to rotate
around the point of contact.

3) the base is still coupled to the platter through the magnetic field.
Vibrations will still be coupled to the platter.

4) better have a UPS. You don't want that platter crashing down when the
power goes out.

5) that large of a magnetic field wont interfere with the cartridge?

6) a rotating magnetic field driving the platter will introduce just as
much wow and flutter as is introduced by the motor of a direct drive
turntable.

7) an open window or a fan could easily blow that platter around
creating even more distortion.

And that's without putting much thought into it. But it seems they've
already exceeded their goal and have more than $400,000.
