How much magnetic field will be required to levitate a human?

A bit of clicking gets you to http://www.ru.nl/hfml/research/levitation/diamagnetic/ which tells us that the frog was levitating in a field of 16 Tesla. … They give the math as well: Therefore, the vertical field gradient ∇B2 required for levitation has to be larger than $2µ_0ρg/χ$. …

Explanation for this type of (magic-trick) suspension?

First - let's do this using electrical charge: how much charge would you need to allow levitation, and what would the potential have to be? … With magnetic levitation, there are two problems: the strength of the magnet, and stability (two dipoles cannot provide a stable levitation platform). …

Is magnetic levitation a good way to vibrationally isolate a speaker from its support?

TL,DR: Magnetic coupling results in lower transmission of sound energy than physical contact Controlling what surfaces vibrate gives more control over sound generation The same benefit could be achi …
