Dynamic “spinning disc” inside an alternating grid Why: Spinning gives partial stabilization (gyroscopic effect) Grid gives symmetrical field cancellation You can experiment with a ring vs solid disc Your first sketch should include: Grid layout of magnets Keep it flat (2D grid) Alternating poles: + − + − + − Even spacing is key Center disc or ring magnet Show spinning direction with an arrow Optional: mark hole in the middle if you want to reduce torque instability Optional guides Small invisible rails, a thin boundary, or vertical posts Helps make the “hover” illusion last longer Ver más
