Hello Comodore -- Your setup looks viable as far as distances and such. I would say that possibly the magnet is not a high enough grade, or the bismuth is not pure. Also keep in mind that the adjustment of the lifting magnet above is very tricky -- it takes practice or the levitating magnet will move to the top or the bottom. Use at least a N40 grade magnet to levitate, and the smaller the better (less weight). DAN

The first 2 pictures are from the internet, they aren't mine... I just described how I but the setup. I still can't get a magnet to levitate and I really experimented for hours, ajusting the space between the bismuth plates and remolded the bismuth to be thicker... The only thing I didn't try is trying to levitate a lighter magnet... Have any suggestions?

It probably can't be made much bigger -- the diamagnetic force is so small that it's not enough to lift anything with much more mass. DAN
Thanks for sharing your project, and welcome to Instructables!
Let me know if you have any questions.
You've probably already found your way around, but in case you haven't see these, here's a guided tour of Instructables and an Instructable for making Instructables.
