Who knows about Magnets?!?!

Actually, your task is impossible. Earnshaw proved, in the 1850's, that you cannot get stable levitation with static magnets, no matter how clever you are.

Actually, I believe that Earnshaw said that you cannot get stable levitation with a static magnetic field (ie, one that isn't confined to certain restraints as the OP is planning on limiting the chairs movement to vertical).

I've actually emailed them, they are right around the corner from me. I'm still waiting on a response.

Damn you, I was about to post that link! I've spent a lot of money there purely for sheer enjoyment. The N52 magnets really aren't that pricey in smaller sizes so you should be able to achieve your goals for around a $100 or so. More small magnets will also be a little safer too but you still have to be careful, I have a 1" N52 cube that I'm actually scared of. I bought a 1/2"x3/4" N52 block and the two flew together (chipping the smaller block) and I have not been able to get them apart. They have proven useful though, especially when the handle broke off of my oven and I couldn't get it open.

Don't bother, just order, they're a good company to work with. Hit me up if you need help figuring out what specific magnets you need to achieve your design!

[Fidhle007]

You may also want to look at something like this too... Maybe an email to them isn't such a bad idea!

Updates on the general lee?

That blows. I MSPainted you a schematic for a MagChairtm.



I hope that cheers you up after the loss of your turn signal.
