Magnetic array repeling iron

anybody from canada here  ?

The ball is plain steel. Out of array is attracted
by permanent magnet.
In the array can levitate anything produced
from magnetic material - screws , nuts ,symmetrical
and unsymmertical objects.
Non magnetic materials dont work.

Good to know, so there are no standing eddy loops(waves) created that would effect levitation of electrically conducting but non magnetic materials.

Did you try by any chance with a non ferromagnetic base support plate eg plastic or wooden base?
Thanks.
The effect maybe very significant towards OU designs.

I didnt try non magnetic base
i will try it this weekend.
I checked magnetic flux with
hall probe and under levitating
ball is - flux , above ball +flux
and in the place where  ball is
there is zero flux.
Maybe in that place is easy
to switch magnetic flux or......
Anybody can send his idea or
suggestion to this forum and
together we could find a "sweet solution".

Very interesting that you have the N poles facing up and right under the ball you get -flux readings. Did you measure at the same approximate area the flux readings without the ball present?

This would be a nice one to model in 3D. Anyone here has the ability to do so?
Thanks

Hi Kadora,

the steel ball can well have been magnetized by the earths magnetic field. For example, when it was standing in one and the same position for a long time.
That happened to all my older screwdrivers hanging in my toolbox. As I'm living in Germany at 53?N the North of the earths magnetic field is quite steeply down, not only north.

Nevertheless a very nice effect, but it has nothing to do with diamagnetism, IMO.

BTW, greetings to all of you, I'm new here, just coming over from the Steorn.com/forum.
