(2009)

Abstract
A  permanent   magnetic   male   and   female   levitation  support  has   a  first   part  with   a  cavity   and   a  plurality   of  retainment   mechanisms incorporated therein, and a plurality of first permanent magnets evenly distributed around the perimeter of the cavity and held in place by the retainment mechanisms, wherein the first permanent magnets produce a first rotationally invariant magnetic field around a first axis.  A second part is rigidly connected to a base and produces a second rotationally invariant magnetic field around a second axis. When the  
first axis is aligned with the second axis, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field simultaneously produce a repulsive force and a restorative force to levitate the first part relative to the second part.
