Diamagnetically Stabilized Levitation - Rotating Magnet

In this video we show you a 10x10x10mm N52 neodym cube magnet which levitates and spins over a plate of pyrolytic graphite. This arrangement is called "Diamagnetically stabilized Levitation". The pyrolytic graphite is polished to near optic quality. By this the floating magnets mirror image can be seen on the pyrolytic graphite plate. Levitation height is about 2 mm. The big lifter magnet which is needed for levitation is not shown in this video. After some time it seems that the magnet changes its direction of rotation but this is only an optical illusion.
