25 x 25 x 1 mm Pyrolytic Graphite for Levitation PG3

Product Description

The pg3 is a 25 x 25 x 1 mm (0.984" x 0.984" x 0.039") piece of pyrolytic graphite, one of the strongest diamagnetic materials available. Its strong diamagnetic response allows it to repel magnetic fields and levitate above properly arranged arrays of powerful neodymium magnets, making it ideal for magnetic levitation experiments and demonstrations. Individual pieces may vary slightly in size and thickness.

The pg3 pyrolytic graphite is designed for magnetic levitation experiments, diamagnetism demonstrations, and other educational and scientific applications. When positioned above a properly arranged array of strong neodymium magnets, the graphite can levitate without requiring electricity or active control. It is a versatile choice for students, educators, hobbyists, researchers, and makers exploring diamagnetism, magnetic fields, and levitation. The pg3 can be used for classroom demonstrations, STEM projects, physics experiments, science fair projects, magnetic field studies, and interactive exhibits.
