Spinning magnets

"Everything you know is wrong" -- Firesign Theatre


Maybe this will have member novelinflow post again?

This involves two magnets, and it appears that the one entrains the other. But one look at it and I'm reminded of Diet Smith's Magnetic Space Coupe in the Dick Tracy comic. Back before the Moon landing falsified it all.

' two magnets '

The 'flywheel-effect' of the spinning induced magnet spheroid prevents it from 'flipping over' and attaching to the 'suspending' magnet ( as a rifled projectile is prevented from 'wobbling' during it's trajectory ) [ the explanation is hiding in plain view ].
The magnetic flux magnitude determines the separation distance between the two magnets.
Earth's lines of magnetic flux are too feeble to ever allow an aircraft to levitate, even at ground level.
The inverse-square law takes care of the rest.
