The "Experiments" section is interesting.

especially the experiment:

which states the (magnetic) force of attraction is larger than the
force of repulsion. This looks wrong to me, and disagrees with other
experimental results. Perhaps Kopernicky did not switch the two
magnets, and thus the two masses being suspended differ? In the
first experiment the top magnet is being suspended against gravity,
and in the second it is the bottom magnet. It is necessary to switch
the two if they don't have the same mass.
There is also the possibility the magnets used are not uniformly
magnetized along their lengths. This could be tested by reversing
both polarities for the repulsion suspension test.
Has anyone here done a similar experiment?
I know a lot of free energy magnetic motor designs are based on this
principle, so looking at this as a first principle is important.
It would be nice if the site had room for blog type discussion
regarding experiment entries.
