I don't know if this solution works or not because I would have to experimentally verify it. I still don't know if I derived a correct theoretical model for this case. I agree with LostConjugate that the friction will alter (i.e. decrease) with time as the air currents equilibrate with the...

I got those equations from this paper: "Diamagnetically stabilized magnet levitation" by LO Heflinger Link: http://netti.nic.fi/~054028/images/LeviTheory.pdf I was thinking it may have to do with some kind of potential energy of the diamagnetic with relation to the levitating magnet, so for...

Thank you for sending me that article. The problem in the article is regarding a rotating cylinder in a wind tunnel. I am merely considering a rotating cylinder where there is insignificant air velocity. I have discarded the drag equation for the cylinder because I have realized that there...

Hello, I have been interested in the problem of diamagnetic levitation where you have typically 2 slabs of some pyrolitic graphite (which is diamagnetic) and between it you have some rare Earth magnet that's levitating thanks to those graphites (and 1 more magnet somewhere above). I have...

Hello, I am interested in the problem of air resistance on a cylinder rotating about its axis (axis of rotation is through the flat parts). I used the drag equation and substituted the "cross-sectional" area as the area that's rotating at R (if R is the radius of the cylinder) so it would be...
