Equal Distribution of Magnetic Fields Maximizing Frictionless Movement By: Christian Espinosa

The purpose of my project was to make a Magnetic hockey table just using magnets instead of electricity. My project is a new unique way to play the game of hockey without using electricity which will save power. My goal was to be able to get a magnetic puck and get it to float in mid air and be able to play with it as a hockey puck. I tested this by having magnets with the negative side facing up under the surface of the hockey table as opposing force on the magnetic puck which had its negative side facing down to get it afloat. The puck is a magnet as well facing the opposing force of the magnets under the surface. My results were that there is no possible way to levitate a magnet stably without electronic devices or diamagnetic materials. I was able to levitate it but not stabilized. My magnet kept flipping and didn’t have stabilization. My project did not meet my design criteria. My invention makes this gaming product more efficient because you don’t need an outlet.
