Archelon:
But lets say I buy the electron magnet I mentioned in my first post and just try some smaller metal objects and see if I could get them levitating?
Do think that would work?
Sounds reasonable, as long as that isn't too pricey. It's just some wire wound round an iron core at the end of the day, but since it has mountings and apretty casing and so on I guess they'll feel free to charge you an arm and a leg.
