But you need to keep the same polarisation to make the train float. How
would you stop the suspension magnets from snapping forward onto the
alternating ones?
All I can think of is a third row of alternating magnets which your wheel
works along. I still doubt you'd get smooth movement though. As it is,
does it float freely back and forth? Or does it tend to settle between the
magnets?
