How does Hendo hoverboards achieve the self-propelling motion? What is the MFA?
like the superconducting hoverboard shown here, or the example of levitation with flux pinning shown in this video. … As mentioned on that page, and also in the oscillating electromagnetic fields section of the wikipedia article on magnetic levitation, this is really a large-scale version of diamagnetic levitation--apparently …

Can superconducting magnets fly (or repel the earth's core)?
I think the basic problem here is that a magnetic gradient is required for levitation, whereas the Earth's magnetic field is very close to uniform on the scale of any human-scale crafts. … Here is a page that gives some specific equations for magnetic levitation--it's focused on diamagnetic levitation, but the page mentions that the specific form of magnetism enters into the equation in …
