Its been over a year since I had thought of this idea and I had to revive this old topic to generate new discussion on my shoes. (no pun intended) The reason why I revived this topic is now I have money to invest in a prototype pair to see if they do in fact work, and how the best effective...

Thank you! You explained my scenario very well. The "container" would have to be a sturdy non magnetic material to contain the magnets in a straight axis to get the most out of levitation. Basically it needs a very strong base and sides to contain those magnets or I got a feeling it would be...

Thanks for the tons of feedback already wow! HallsofIvy, I do know what conservation of momentum is. You can not change momentum between two objects that collide. But i do not see where they are colliding. Its acting like a spring effect like springs. One magnet on the bottom and one on the...

I just do not see springs being stronger than some magnetic repulsion.

Hello, I am new to the forums, my name is Brandon. I have just recently graduated high school. I graduated from my physics class with a 97% for the year! yay! But off to my question... I have been thinking of a cool project that involved 4 neodymium magnets and using the repulsion force...
