Flying Pyramid,
I have been going over and over your posts here in order to get a picture of this thing in my mind so that my contemplations of it can contain some accuracy. I really want to learn this with the proper concepts so that when it comes to building one, I better know where I am going.
Here are several questions that have arisen so far.

4.) If you were to look at the pyramid straight on from the side,
Half of the pyramid would sit above the balls and the other half would rest below the balls.

This must mean that the balls too are suspended above the downward point of the pyramid since the downward tip of the inverted pyramid is BELOW the balls. Is that accurate? Perhaps the three spheres are on a ring shelf? Or do they levitate upwards also?

Magnitite is the first step.
Develope the system on this material first and when the world understands how and why it works, then we can begin the next step.

Can you or anyone inform us as to where chunks of raw magnetite can be obtained?
Also, what method would you recommend to machine magnetite? Would it require lazer cutting? Or, would diamond tools be sufficient? Or some other method?
I also have a question concerning the "notches" on the spheres. 4 per sphere, right?

Make the spheres like the number 6.

That's more than a little cryptic but perhaps you could give a clearer hint? It could mean several things.

Look at a swastika and imagine it being rounded and the 4 arms make 4 notches.

If I was imagining a rounded swastika in the middle of a sphere would it be distorted diagonally from the axis of the sphere's rotation? 19.5 degrees at the swastika's tips from the North and South centers of rotation? Or should I imagine the rounded swastika to be on the outer skin of the sphere?
Quote:
If you were to look at the sphere from the side, the notch would appear like a cresant moon, thin at the top and bottom but thick, 19.5 degrees thick, in the middle.

Does this mean that the "notches" are not round dimples as kepher shows in his gif? Are they left hand crecent moon shaped with the center 19.5 degrees from the N/S axis of rotation?
You say this whole device is somehow suspended. Does that mean that the balls are on a circular shelf or tray with the tip of the levitating inverse pyramid pointing down in the center with its tip BELOW the balls which are rotating to the 3 sides centered with the inner pyramid? And does it mean that the 4 "notches" in the balls are crecent shaped rather than round and would they be left hand or right hand crecent shapes centered north and south from the axis of the rotating spheres by 19.5 degrees away from the axis poles of the rotating spheres? In other words, do the notches appear as pointy crecent "Cs" or reversed? Possibly both ways according to the rounded swastika?
I hope these questions makes some sense.
Am I in left field or right field?
