"Only if there were no mechanical coupling between the panels. Both of the pseudo mag-lev systems I'm aware of employ mechanical coupling as a consequence of Earnshaw."Yes, that is true. I was speaking strictly of the magnets themselves, without the necessary stablization mechanism.
"Now if we could develop a material that's highly diamagnetic, we could have true mag-lev and eliminate all mechanical coupling. At least for static systems. Currently the most highly diamagnetic materials (namely graphite and bismuth) are too weak to be of any use as a component support."Someday....maybe....in a galaxy far far away....
Appreciate your vigilance for the truth. Keep it up....
