Bismuth Diamagnetic Trap Levitation http://physicstoys.blogspot.com/p/physics-toy-store.html A neodymium cube magnet trapped between two pieces of strongly diamagnetic bismuth crystal levitates in defiance of gravity. Diamagnetic substances only have magnetic fields of their own when placed in an external magnetic field from another source- here the cube shaped magnet supplies the field. Diamagnetic fields are pretty weak though so two large ceramic magnets are placed on each side and adjusted t

Bismuth Diamagnetic Levitation https://www.physicsfunshop.com/search?keywords=bismuth Element 83 (bismuth) is the most diamagnetic of the elements*. Here a small neodymium magnet is made to float between two 99% pure bismuth 10mm cubes which are held in precise configuration by friction with the parallel walls of the acrylic assembly I made. Diamagnetic substances only have magnetic fields of their own when placed in an external magnetic field from another source- here the tiny cube magnet suppl
