Diamagnetism definition from wiki: Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field, and are repelled by the applied magnetic field. In contrast, the opposite behavior is exhibited by paramagnetic materials. Diamagnetism is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; when it is the only contribution to the magnetism the material is called a diamagnet. Unlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet. Its magnetic permeability is less than μ0, the permeability of vacuum. In most materials diamagnetism is a weak effect, but a superconductor repels the magnetic field entirely, apart from a thin layer at the surface.

Hey Kevin,
I’m wondering how much voltage it would take and what mechanism would be needed to keep the spin at the same rate or speed it up to thousands of rpm’s.
Also, have you done anything the the Newman motor?
Glenn
I don’t think it would take much voltage. I haven’t heard of it but I will check out the Newman motor.
