Device to make an object float through the utilization of magnets

A magnetic suspension object and road system comprising:

• a magnetic road, including:
• a magnet means defining an upwardly-presented, longitudinally elongated road surface having but one kind of magnetic pole presented upwardly, and
• at least one side of said road surface being flanked along the length thereof with a wall of non-magnetic material, said wall extending substantially above said road surface;
• and a magnetic object, including:
• magnet means defining a downwardly-presented, longitudinally elongated arrangement of magnets constrained to have but said one kind of magnetic pole presented downwardly at an underside of said magnetic object;
• said system further including means cooperatingly provided on said magnetic road and on said magnetic object which are constructed and arranged for
• maintaining said magnetic object adjacent said wall of non-magnetic material, and
• preventing the magnetic object from rolling over away from said wall of non-magnetic material about a generally horizontal longitudinal axis in such a manner as would result in downward presentment of opposite magnetic poles from said magnetic object,
• said arrangement of magnets on said magnetic object being so elongated and so concentrated toward opposite ends of said magnetic object, that said magnetic object is constrained against flipping over in an end-over-end sense, so that said magnetic object may be supported above said road surface by repelling magnetic forces for movement along said road surface.
