I realised my work of art "The vale of soul making" with the help of your magnets.
It is made of polystyrene and coated with a layer of hard plaster.
It took more than 5 months and various tests to achieve an equalisation of magnetic repulsion and gravity in order to attain a stable levitation effect.
The asymmetrical shape of the piece and the heavy layer of hard plaster made this work even harder.
Technical specification
There are 2 Q-30-30-15-N
block magnets with an adhesive force of 35 kg attached to both ends of the levitating piece.
In the middle on the bottom is a large metal screw.
The base of the artwork holds another 2 block magnets of the same type at the ends.
The magnets were placed so they repel the magnets on the inside.
In the middle of the base is a S-30-15-N
disc magnet with an adhesive force of 23 kg, which attracts the screw on the inside and stabilises the horizontal variations.
The work of art is confined by a Plexiglas wall on one end, so the mobility is limited and the levitation is stabilised.
