Abstract

After the discovery that superconducting magnets could levitate diamagnetic objects,^1,2 researchers became interested in measuring the repulsion of diamagnetic fluids in strong magnetic fields,^3-5 which was given the name "The Moses Effect."⁵ Both for the levitation experiments and the quantitative studies on liquids, the large magnetic fields necessary were produced by superconducting magnets.
