I have been able to levitate a disk over a floor by suspending it on its 
own electromagnetic field(guessing). I am using a permanent magnet 
surrounded by electromagnets and it floats by repelling itself. I am 
guessing at the reason it works, however I would like a more scientific 
view.Stabilization is achieved via a gyro. I am a Naval aviator therefore 
I am well of the implications in regards to aviation and various other 
applications.
