do have videos, or anything that shows this isn't just clever trickery with magnets?
(always skeptical with stuff I read)
lawl XD. If you build an anti gravity device, you are looking at becoming a trillionaire.

Fancy. It's a nice model replica and the OP has obviously spent some time getting the magnetic levitation stable.
But.
This is not new, ground breaking, or even that neat. Magnets have been around since before we understood gravity. This technology, if you can call it that, exists all over today, in maglev trains, small maglev toys, identical to this one but a different object design. In fact, I have seen at least 1 of these with a "classic saucer" as the hovering object.
The problem lies in the fact that this requires a magnetic board to actually work, can not adjust it's height (debatable) and would essentially require laying magnetic field inducing circuits EVERYWHERE.
As a replacement to physical wheels on a road? Splendid. Sadly the cost of upgrading the infrastructure to make that happen ensure it will never happen.
Now, if you were able to harness the earths magnetic field to repel your ship, then you are on to something, and much closer to what that hack Lazar was claiming they had at area 51.
Now, the height of levitation would be directly related to the size/strength of the magnetic field correct? Could you not use electromagnets with variable intensity to adjust this? That's something I'd look into if I had the knowledge, ability, and time the OP does.
If you could prove that would work, and logically it sounds good, then you could start designing something you can patent. A computer algorithm reviving input via various sensors, self adjusting the magnetic field on the fly to allow for almost a hovercraft type operation. You still need a base to hover over of course, but you'd be getting into something tangible and much more advanced that 2 repelling magnets.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd pay a good price to fly around an indoor skate park on a hoverboard.

Oh yeah, here it is. Ebay!

Lights and everything, $79 bucks!
The ShrikeKeep in mind that you may think that you are building or built a Lazar "replica" or of a Testor product, that you are really constructing a "Billy" Meier Pleaidian craft! I first made that claim back in the '90s in the early UFO forums and no one mentions the similarity.

Very interesting. A little more hover height would be great if possible, just a small increment. I know much more isn't feasible.

Which posts are you refering to? The ones that think this has never been done before? This is the coolest looking one I ever saw. Too bad he does not want to make it spin. I have a design in my head.
