Hi Folks,  I should start by saying "it has" I just did......I took some =
ring magnets and slipped them over a length of brass and chrome  tv =
antenna.  North to North, so the top magnet floats above the bottom one. =
 I then slipped a coil over the top magnet, so its position is South =
pole just entering the coil.

The result is somewhat as if the top magnet is hanging from a spring.   =
There it bobs up and down when the coil and pvc housing are moved or =
touched.   I tried to measure the frequency and a good guess is 3 to 4 =
Hz.

I would welcome your comments.   It is plugged in and online now.    No =
Earthquakes yet, and I have no idea if it will work.    I do know it =
responds to drop test, vertically, up to 100 feet away.  I do know it =
does not show any noises.    A train passed by and both my vertical and =
horz. pick it up, but there was zero on this experiment.

One observation is the floating top magnet, has some friction as it =
drags on the chrome rod,  however not much.
Another observation is the top magnet feels as if it is suspended by a =
stiff spring.  When you push down on it, the force field is great.  On =
the other hand I think it is in a weightless state, between gravity and =
this field, the same as if hanging from a spring.

I would guess this has been tried.   Probably unsuccessfully as I have =
never seen it.    I will leave it plugged in and see what happens.
