Object that horizonally levitates, artwork inspired by flying a rocket to the Moon and back.
Magnets counter the gravity and provide forward horizontal force (thrust) that is compensated with a thread (rocket is anchored to the Moon).
3D printable parts, M3 threaded stainless steel rod and 6 round (cylinder) neodymium magnets (0.5 T, grade N35).
D = 6 mm, L = 10 mm, rod 14 mm
D = 10 mm, L = 10 mm, rod 25 mm
D = 12 mm, L = 12 mm, rod 25 mm
Range of mechanical stability is very narrow. Millimeter precison adjustment is required to make it right.
