Magnetic levitating pencil - how to make it as best as possible

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

The paper describes simple "tunable levitating pencil" that participants of the workshop built by themselves, as well as experiments with this device that can clarify for example how to make the levitating most stable, how it is influenced by positions of magnets below and how and why the pencil oscillates around its equilibrium position.
