Carl Bugeja | Jumping Magnets! @CarlBugeja | Uploaded June 2018 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I accidentally made magnets jump when testing my Linear PCB Motor PCBs. This happened when I placed a small spherical neodymium magnet in the middle of the coil and alternating its magnetic field.

Linear PCB Motor:

The coils of this motors are made from 5/5mil coreless pcb windings. Magnets are used to slide across the pcb and are actuated by the winding's magnetic field.
