My 1st Diorama!! AREA-51 Ufo DIORAMA!! ?? Is it possiable to make a model levetate? Using magnets?

Erik:    Your idea is probably possible, but those permanent magnets may not be powerful enough.  The real question is, how large is the area of magnetic flux?  And if the mag has a large enough field, is  the field's strength strong enough, far enough out to allow some distance between the scale ground or pavement and the bottom of the model?  I have a magnet rated as 150 lb. pull that doesn't have much thickness to its area of flux.  But, when it contacts some iron, it holds-on like crazy.  Perhaps you should concider electro-magnets.  They can be made using some small gauge insulated wire and an iron core .  Use an iron nail as the core and some batteries ( D - cell, C - cell,  AA, or  flat - 9's.)  The D's, C's, and AA batteries are 1-1/2 volts each and the flat 9's are 9 volts each.  If you connect multible batteries in series, the total voltage will be the sum of all batteries.  Example:  3 D's = 4 - 1/2 volts DC ( approx. ).  3 flat 9's = 27 volts DC ( approx.).  Make a small electro-mag for the inside of the model by using a AAA  battery ( it's small )  Make sure it's  setup so that the N - S poles are on a vertical plane in the model.   The main electro-mag  ( and most powerful ) would be in the base and also with its poles oriented vertically .  The purpose of the small battery in the model is to provide an active flux field that the powerful mag in the base can REPELL without being too heavy.  You can adjust the power in the base mag by adding / subtracting batteries and / or windings.  The base can hide a lot more batteries that can the model and there's no weight problem.  Mold in a tunnel vertically through the model's body to " ride " up and down on a clear plastice rod that is anchored to the base.  Cap the top of the rod so that the model cannot be repelled up-and-off of the rod.  Oh, if the mags attract each other, simply reverse the leads of the base mag.  Don't forget an On / Off switch on the base and the model.  One last point !!  You want to wind alot of turns of the wire around the core, because that is where the mag power is rooted --- and you'll need some circuit impedence to prevent the batteries from getting hot and blowing up.  That's the reason I suggested that you experimant with mag power before building the diorama.  Go to your local library ( or on-line ) and find some info about building  small, hobby electro-magnets. 

WOW, I think I got everything down.  Experiment, be safe,  and above all, HAVE FUN!!
