I love the outcome and hate the fact even my plant needs electricity now.

^^Also I’m just envious.

This could be done with regular magnets, no need for electricity

Sadly it cannot be done with just permanent magnets, then you need at least one contact point to stabilize it.

I could have sworn I’ve seen it done but I’m just now learning about Earnshaw’s theorem. Huh. TIL
