I want to balance magnet in between two magnets so the middle one flys with help of no thing? any help?

Question

I know about the thing super conductor that flys but
i want to balance magnit in between two magnits so the middle one flys with help of nothing... any help ? sugestions
i know about thingy super conductor but i want to do it in different way,

i saw some thing on tv like this ,,,,,, three magnits ONE on the top one at bottom and the middle one flys and rotates.

Answer 1

turn the middle one sideways

Answer 2

A good place to start is by researching diamagnetism.

A good experiment is to levitate a piece of pyrolytic carbon. I can't think of where to get ahold of a piece of pyrolytic carbon off the top of my head so it might take some searching around. You'll then want to arrange four rare earth magnets in a square with alternating polarities. The piece of pyrolytic carbon will float in the middle.

If I can find more detailed plans on this experiment I will post them later.

Answer 3

Try magnetic rings mounted on a wooden dowel. Glue the dowel to the hole in one ring. When reversed and put on the dowel, the other ring will float above the first one. The dowel keeps the second magnet from moving out of the field. Otherwise it will tend to side slip, so that it's north pole heads toward the other magnet's south pole.

Answer 4

I hate to break this to you, but magnetic forces are inherently unstable and therefore cannot be used to form traps, such as the one you are considering, except for the weakest kind of magnet (paramagnet?) and the super conductor induced magnet. If you use a paramagnet, form the material into a bowl shape and the field will catch the target magnet. The magnet must be induced, and therefore requires a constant, steady current of electricity.

Answer 5

For if the bottom of the top was negative. The top of the middle must be positive. The bottom of the middle would be negative. Thus the top of the bottom would be positive. The ends would be positive on top and and negative on the bottom. You would need a vaccum with both sides of the polarity at these two ends

Answer 6

Like Tycha said, you need to constrain the motion of the magnets to one direction - by using donut-shaped magnets on a dowel. Otherwise it's about as hard as balancing three coins on top of each other on their sides - theoretically it's possible but you'll never do it.

Answer 7

Any simple arrangement will be unstable.
