    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.

    Can two opposing magnets held together by string be stable?

    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?

    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.
