"Tiny Orbo Replication" over 100% efficiency

It's difficult to tell how many segments are included.  Very few are clear. For example the following item says, "Price is per set of four pieces," but it's $9.75,

This item shows 6 segments, yet the text says, "Arc segments for motor - OD-31.94mm, ID-27.94mm, 6mm wide. 12 pcs to make a circle. 1 Set includes 14 magnets (1 extra for each pole up to 4 sets)."  So what's the price for a "set"?

As I said above, contact George. He will happily answer any questions you might have. I bought mine a couple years ago from his "clearance" page and they are no longer listed. I don't have any personal knowledge about the magnets listed right now.

Here again is his contact information:

Some of them are very educational.

Oc, can you show a video of your magnetic levitation bearings spinning?

I don't have anything that does something useful, just a crude proof-of-concept juryrig setup that I assembled in a bench vice. All I have is 2 wooden blocks with bored holes and arc magnets glued into the holes, N poles in one block and S poles in the other.

For testing, I placed the blocks into a bench vice and used a 3" long rod magnet as a spindle. I held the rod magnet in the center and tightened the vice until the ends of the rod stabilzed in the center of the ring. It worked but was axially unstable. Just a slight axial force and the spindle would shoot through until it was forced against the bottom of the hole.

I haven't put the effort into it to stabilize things to make it usable, and haven't touched it for a couple years. But I'm confident there is some way to stabilize it.
