I'm not interested in provoking or entertaining conflicts.
Fire, meet Gasoline.. is a good analogy for you two..
Anyway, bismuth as an axle for the magnet, is just an idea and I figure that's what the forum is about, sharing ideas and stuff, not bickering..
I remains to be seen if the idea actually works, or partly works which can be developed into something that does work. If so, well then that's great.
I have the diametrically magnetized magnet, (from a previous experiment) and also some Bismuth metal and rod. So I'll lathe up some of the Bi rod to fit inside the magnets.

In my mind, the magnet may only start float around the Bi axle once the magnet is spinning at speed. So the Bi axle may yet need bearings and or additional surrounding of Bi metal or other methods that encourage the magnet to start floating which allow it to begin to rotate at an outrageous speed.
