Looking for tips on how to create magnetic levitating spin tops that will work with a minimum amount of trial and error. These have 2 magnets, one in the top and a large one in the base.
Planning on collecting a bunch of old speaker ring ceramic magnets ( big 5
" OD ) from the Car Audio shops and salvage some rare earth magnets from old computers.
I like to keep the cost low in case this experiment does not work.
Here are links to what I would like to end up with:
http://abctoupie.com/en/toupie-volante/ Flying Top -Sometimes both videos play at the same time. Stop one.

Football fans can search You Tube for " Hover Helmets "
Anyone made one that works better? Thanks in advance. Kent
