Stabilizing with a diamagnet would require a very large, powerful, and impossibly expensive electromagnet. Stabilizing with a superconductor would be easier, but that has its own problems, including the need for cryogenics. For these and other possibilities for stabilization, see my book Rising Force: The Magic of Magnetic Levitation (Harvard, 2011).James D.

It looks like some people are holding firm to Earnshaw's theorem, without completely understanding all possible aspects. A number of people could learn some fun little tricks from Theo Gray. He would also likely explain that one exception to this problem is diamagnetism which is a purely repulsive force as opposed to ferromagnetism (common North/South pole type). I don't want to plagarize Theo's work or book which I paid money for and feel he earned it for his efforts, but check him out at www.graysci.com and you might pick up a few other tricks to entertain yourselves. The biggest trick I can see to this furniture concept would be to keep it from floating away from the base and dropping to the floor due to a lack of friction to keep it in place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530364280653551281.post-1204560960963114952009-08-02T23:50:45.512-07:002009-08-02T23:50:45.512-07:00Thanks Matthew for your sharing.

It would require superconducting coils and a huge amount of electrical power, or incredibly powerfull permanent magents with electromagnets to stabilise it.
