Abstract
A device is described that develops stable levitating forces in a magnetic field of the same vector form that a diamagnet would (thus called pseudodiamagnetic suspension) but of substantially larger magnitude. Although requiring an energy source, it can be completely self-contained. A laboratory experiment is described where stable suspension was provided at the rate of 232 kg/W. The analysis is extended to the electric field case (which is shown to be analogous and is called pseudodiadielectric suspension) and to an orthogonal set of superconducting rings. The superconducting rings can also be levitated in stable equilibrium and they do not need an energy supply.Keywords
