I tried many variations.. and even lost a few flying mags.. LOL.. But it you can make it levitate.. It always has the same results.. Spins, oscilates, stops.

Did you try tying them together with a 30 gauge wire.. I have never seen that before.. only thing I can see different than other wheels I've seen.

30 gauge steel wire? I'll look around and see if I have some.. If I do.. I will try it for you. Could you see a wire in his vid.. I gotta watch it again to see.

It looks to me that the bottom disc has two magnets at each point, one on each side, but then maybe its a reflection, though I doubt it because I think he is using the attraction to hold the magnets on the disc as I don't see any sign of adhesive anywhere.

As to the wires on the top and bottom discs, who knows, maybe the induced fields in both the top and bottom wires interact in some weird chaotic manner to sustain rotation, but then maybe not?

Ya, maybe it is two magnets on the bottom at each point.

Yep the top wheel has the magnets tied together with a wire.
