Short 3:25Min Interesting Video on copper maglev

I have a high speed connection so warning about that!

Summary: EM repulsion lifts a neodymium magnet above two spinning copper pipes. See = http://amasci.com/maglev/magroll.html

It is not necessary for the permanent magnet to create a field within the copper.
The spinning copper pipes will produce an electromagnetic field from the homopolar generation of electricity. They are spinning in the magnetic field of the earth.

If you notice in the video the magnet seems to be repelled at both poles.
