OSTI ID:5443292
This patent describes an apparatus. It comprises a rotatable support member; a pair of first magnets positioned at opposite ends of the support member, the magnets having axes of symmetry and being rotatable about the axes; a mass of a superconducting material positioned adjacent each first magnet so that based on current understanding each magnet is levitated from the mass of superconducting material by means of persistent currents induced in the mass of superconducting material by the first magnets.
