    Who knows about Magnets?!?!

    Ok so I'm an industrial design student at Uarts in Philly, and I'm starting a new project using magnets in a chair. The use of the magnets is to create a "floating effect". One thing my professor wants me to do before I spend the money on a bunch of magnets to to figure out the physics of it. I have searched online and emailed a few companies(only to get no freaking responses) and I am still in the blue about what I want to know...

    So what i need is a magnet setup where the push force would be able to support at least 200 lbs... Also any other information that you think is important about polarity and how far away from each other the magnets have to be before they start affecting the ones around them.

    Figured that it was worth a shot posting it here, seeing as how most of you guys are brainiacs! Now deliberate!
Working...
