I just realized an important thing that makes all experiments like this one questionable, and that has to do with the Dip or Inclination of the earth's field.
If an unmagnetized rod is suspended from the center like I have done here, and balanced to be level, then magnetized, it will align with the field lines, both N-S and Dip. So it will, here, make an angle of 70 degrees with horizontal.
Thus, if I try to level a magnet rod, it won't be "gravitationally" balanced.
you should also consider the fact that you have sporadic holes in your aluminum. That would create a path to an equilibrium with them there because there would be less aluminum rotating under it, interacting less with the magnetic field. maybe?
OK, let's picture a different conductive wheel, something like a bicycle wheel with a long copper busbar wrapped around the rim where the tire would go.
Place the side of that large neo disc that shows the anomaly best tangent to the outside edge of the wheel. Give the wheel a spin.
The asymmetrical forces will try to rotate the magnet further away from the wheel on one side where the Lenz forces are greatest. But since the magnet is firmly attached and can't rotate, the asymmetrical ...
So we have two interesting things here. The angular velocity is the same on the inside as the outside, but there are many more molecules passing any given point on the outside path than the inside path. Since flux in attraction results in a stretching and drawing together as the eddies leave the magnet, just the opposite occurs on the approach. What isn't shown is the magnetic center vs. the gravitational center of the suspended magnets. They are different here, but asymmetry is still shown.
Why then would there be more of an effect on the suspended magnet when the disk is spun in a clockwise direction, if it was "air force" we would expect the same effect as the disk is spun counter-clockwise. We actually see the suspended magnet do a complete spin proving that there are other forces here at play. Interesting stuff!

"Thus, if I try to level a magnet rod, it won't be "gravitationally" balanced."
So balance it inside your "Magnetic Field Disruptor", or maybe a Faraday cage.

... forces will be applied to the wheel instead, more force in one direction than in the other.
Is there any way this asymmetrical application of forces can be used to counter friction and keep the wheel spinning?
Food for thought.

For some reason I think I want glasses with Jack and 7... hmmm...drink anyone?

More of the good work we all have come to expect from you, TK.
Keep it coming!

interesting indeed-the question must be asked why it did full rotation in the clockwise direction.

thats amazing, wonder if brass suspended would show any different characteristics

I think its an air force caused by the spinning disk, not magnetic force

You could place the suspended bar inside a transparent jar to see if really wind is in effect here.
