Abstract

This paper explores how stable magnetic levitation can be achieved using a combination of permanent magnets and superconductors. When these materials interact, magnetic fields create a lifting force due to the Lorentz effect. By designing a proper magnetic field pattern and adjusting the magnetic strength and material hardness, the system can reach a point of stable balance, or equilibrium. This study also dies into the difference between active and passive reputation and their responses affecting levitation stability, The results suggest that with suitable magnetic geometry and alignment, a permanent magnet and a superconductor can produce a reliable levitation effect.
