Bismuth Levitator 6 Steps (with Pictures) Instructables

This is a great science project to do at home. This project demonstrates diamagnetic levitation by levitating a magnet between two pieces of bismuth using a stronger magnet above. Despite its appearance and characteristics suggesting otherwise, bismuth is actually diamagnetic, a property that seems to contradict conventional wisdom. The levitated magnet floats because it is attracted to the stronger magnet above while also being repelled by the bismuth on either side.
