Wonder where the mechanical constraints are. By Earnshaw theorem, it is mathematically impossible for any 3D configuration of static magnets to be mechanically stable. To achieve mechanical stability there has to be a mechanical constraint like a mechanical bearing to prevent full 3D motion, or the configuration isn't static (i.e. the magnets are constantly being adjusted via feedback mechanisms).View attachment 116519
