Can two opposing magnets held together by string be stable?
Cool, thank you so much for the helpful info. I think a rod (or nail) would work.- chaimpeck

The diagram is here: http://i.imgur.com/YbWP4VO.png I am not sure why it is now showing for you. Is there a way to determine the minimum width of the rings and the distance for it to be stable? Or would it always be unstable? Has anyone tried this?- chaimpeck

Can two opposing magnets held together by string be stable?
I am wondering if I could attach two disc or ring magnets by a string in their center to cause the top one to levitate? Would it be stable or would it flip? Here is a diagram of what I would like to do. Thanks.- chaimpeck
