Floating Magnets
Product Code : LSK-PL-10332
Floating Magnets (SKU LSK-PL-10332) is a simple demonstration of magnetic repulsion: five ceramic magnets on a wooden pole push each other apart so that they hover one above another. The effect catches attention in primary science, Class 6 magnetism and secondary physics lessons on magnetic forces. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set at its Plot 448 factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, supplying it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The set consists of five ceramic magnets, each 32 mm in external diameter, mounted on a wooden pole 150 mm high. When the magnets face each other with like poles, repulsion holds them apart in the air, and the gaps change as magnets are added or removed.

Applications and Experiments for the Floating Magnets
The floating magnets make an invisible force visible: like poles repel, unlike poles attract, and the spacing shows how repulsion balances the weight of the magnets above. Pressing down on the top magnet and releasing it also shows that the force grows as the magnets are pushed closer.
- Class 6 science (fun with magnets): showing that like poles repel.
- Comparing gap sizes up the pole to discuss force and weight.
- Turning one magnet over to switch from repulsion to attraction.
- Introducing magnetic levitation in secondary physics.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises five ceramic magnets of 32 mm external diameter and the 150 mm wooden pole on which they are mounted. No other parts are needed for the demonstration; any optional items you wish to add are listed separately on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order enquiries can be for a single set or a class quantity, and the reply quotation covers packing, delivery time and price for that number. Bar magnets, compasses and other electricity and magnetism lab kit for schools can be added to the same quotation.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Floating Magnets float?
The magnets are arranged with like poles facing, so they repel each other. The repulsive force holds each magnet above the one below it on the wooden pole.
How many magnets are in the set and what size are they?
Five ceramic magnets, each 32 mm in external diameter, on a wooden pole 150 mm high.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the maker. The set is produced in its Saha, Ambala factory, India, and the quotation you receive comes from the factory.
How should the magnets be handled?
Keep the magnets away from phones, cards and electronic devices, and slide them gently onto the pole rather than letting them snap together.
