Diamagnetism with Pyrolytic Graphite Levitation

Sail a magnetic sea

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.
