Elongate tools having diamagnetically stabilized levitation device

Abstract

The subject invention concerns an elongate tool comprising a diamagnetically stabilized levitation device. The levitation device comprising a lifting permanent magnet which attracts a levitating permanent magnet upward. A user achieves magnetic levitation by turning the lifting-magnet-height-adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise. The levitating permanent magnet is kept vertically stable between two diamagnetic objects. The invention is useful as a tool and it is also amusing and educational.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . The article of manufacture, comprising: 
 (a) a tubular, elongate tool component;    (b) two cutouts opposite of each other on the upper end of said elongate tool component and the inner surface of the top end of said tool component contains screw thread;    (c) a lifting-magnet-height-adjuster comprising a male bushing wherein a permanent magnet is affixed with either its north magnetic pole or south magnetic pole facing up;    (d) a transparent tubular object containing two diamagnetic objects one on each end of said transparent tubular object and a small permanent magnet between said diamagnetic objects; and,    (e) according to  claim 1  (d), the gap between said diamagnetic objects must be sufficient enough for said permanent magnet to flip upside down, and the polarity of said permanent magnet of  claim 1  (d) is irrelevant.    
     
     
         2 . The article of manufacture, according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower end of said elongate component is a pen or a pencil.  
     
     
         3 . A method levitating said permanent magnet mentioned in  claim 1  (d) comprising the steps of: 
 Screw said lifting-magnet-height-adjuster onto the top end of said elongate tool component and turning said lifting-magnet-height-adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise until said magnet between said diamagnetic objects levitates.
