Taking inspiration from Youtuber "Action Labs" video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx4lNihOT4U
I made my own Motor Powered Magnet Levitator. This required a DC motor with 4mm shaft that can go at around 10,000 RPM and 2 1cm cubed magnets.
The model holds the magnet at 7 degrees to the horizontal, and it is important that the north and south sides of the magnet are placed properly into the model or else it wont work. Once the motor is up to speed in the 10,000 RPM range, you can bring the 2nd magnet closer and try finding the spot where the rotating magnet does the lifting for you and can get the other magnet to float freely.
The point of this is to help replicate the idea of electrons revolving around a nucleus and how extra repelling force is exerted when pushed closely to each other yet pulls the magnets together after a certain distance is approached.
