| PT 1: Maglev toy: diamagnetic pyrolytic carbon lifts magnets A supermagnet cube floats between graphite disks. The cube is lifted by the ceramic magnet a few cm above, while the two carbon disks repel the cube, keeping it stable. This is the small physics toy sold by Dr. Martin Simon a few years ago (no longer avail.) A larger version is sold on Educational Innovations website. Or buy pyrolytic graphite wafers from http://scitoys.com, and supermagnets from http://www.wondermagnet.com Tags: maglev supermagnets magnet neodymium neo magnetic levitation diamagnetic pyrolytic graphite antigravity amasci |
