Diamagnetic materials are commonly used for demonstration purposes. In this case the returning force appears from the interaction with the screening currents.
Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces. [2]
