Levitator with magnets and Bismuth

[zeropointprophet]

can bismuth sheild or cloak a magnets magnetic field completly?

[megaverse]

absolutly not ...and to proove it ...to hold that little magnet you see on the video it takes a 2x2 inchs super magnets far on top so if that magnet can pass through the bismuth to permit the little magnet to levitate then you got your answer for the shielding witch is none at all even for 2 inches thick

u buy this metal in ingots?

[Erika445566]

Purchase it in bigger amounts on the internet. If you goto somewhere that doesnt specialize in bismuth or other elements, you'll have to buy it in inkents. i think its 2$/inket

i jerk off 2 bismuth

[Plataea]

Bismuth, graphite, copper are all diamagnetic, they abhore magnetic fields, there should be a larger anchoring magnet directly above the two bismuth slugs which acts to keep the smaller suspended magnet stable, a fun and easy project!

You can get 2 bismuth disks and a rare earth magnet as a kit on Ebay.

Oh yea. I forgot to mention. I grow crystals from bismuth. They are quite awesome. Will be posting some on YT in a bit.
