    Height Magnet
AI Thread Summary
Adding more magnets beneath a levitating magnet is expected to increase the levitating height due to the increased magnetic force. Theoretically, if three additional magnets are added, the force could increase significantly, potentially by four times. However, the exact relationship between the number of magnets and levitating height is not clearly defined in existing literature. The discussion highlights a lack of direct resources on this specific topic. Understanding the dynamics of magnetism is crucial for predicting changes in levitating height.

Imagine one magnet levitating above another. Now imagine another 3 magnets are added to the bottom magnet (image below). What would happen to the levitating height?

I'd imagine the levitating height would increase and the force would increase by 4 times. I had a quick look online but I couldn't find a direct relationship about levitating height.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
