Diamagnetism with Pyrolytic Graphite Levitation
Diamagnetic levitation with pyrolytic graphite
Sail a magnetic sea with diamagnetic levitation. Diamagnetism causes pyrolytic graphite to levitate. This floats around with less than 1 mm gap above a 13 x 13 array of 5 mm magnets. The north poles are marked as black and the square sheet is 45 mm a side and 0.5 mm thick (20/1000 inch). The video shows the sheet sliding around without friction when I tilt the base slightly.

Diamagnetism with Bismuth
Diamagnetism with Bismuth stabilises levitation
Diamagnetic levitation using bismuth plates to stabilise the magnetic lift of one permanent magnet by another. This is the classical setup with a small cube magnet between two bismuth plates. “Continue Reading” to see the video, a cool Bismuth crystal, 6 photos and links…
