Thankyou for that I did'nt know and you have encourage me to learn more on this
Thankyou again

Thank for watching and having a go your self
To avoid oxidation best to slowly heat metal and only just liquafy the more heating over the melting piont the more oxidation you will get.

Awesome! I have 4oz. of Bismuth Metal "Needles". I know I can melt it down in a crucible to make discs, but I don't want any oxidation to take place. Also, Bismuth is actually slightly radioactive, although, even with a GM Counter, you cannot get a reading, even with an alpha sensitive mica probe, since it's half-life is ~19 Pentillion years! Also you'll have interference with background radiation, (cosmic, radon, trace isotopes, etc.) Awesome diamagnetic experiment! I'm going to try it! 5/5!

Thank for watching and thinking
Experiments or displays can be set up with one lower plate or one upper plate but both of these setups the magnet can fall out of or get pulled into the upper feild and crash into the lifting magnets I have killed many magnets doing this.
By using two plates you get an upper and lower diamagnetic feild at the same time this means larger levitation gaps or set with a med size gap with two plate is very stable good for hight speed rotation of levitating magnet.
hey, this is very interesting! but i wonder, is it possible to do this just like the Pyrolytic Graphite experiment? only you use bismuth in stead of the pyrolytic graphite, or is that to heavy or something?
Cool Stuff i will order something from ebay, thats for sure!

Hello and good question I pondered the same thing and found out that if you make the bismuth very thin its too heavy and also when very thin does not have the diamagnetic feild strength due to not enouf mass of matreial.
I will include this information in a vid as I made a part over three years ago to find this out.
Thankyou for showing the curiosity required to do this kind of work I like to see when peoples brains work.

Hello, very interesting thing I was wondering if bismuth may also serve as a magnetic shield between the two neodin magnet
Thank you for your reply and wish you a nice day

Hello yes Bismuth can be used as a magnetic sheild provided the feild strenght does not saturate the bismuth with too much flux.

Have you tried to create a radiometer by painting alternating white / black
sides of the levitating magnet and using a high intensity light source?

Doing this work now and will post in a vid in 2 days time
