MagLev

An easy magnetic levitation demonstration using the very common ceramic disc magnets. Start with a stack so all the magnet poles are lined up and slide magnets off the top to try and almost lean them against the others. You'll see them "float" or levitate against the magnetic field of the stack. Try to identify where you see repulsion and where you see attraction; try to get them to oscillate!
