Embodiments described herein provide devices, systems, and techniques for generating a magnetic field pattern that includes a plurality of magnetic poles. In specific embodiments, a magnetic device is disclosed which generates a magnetic field pattern including two magnetic poles of the same polarity on both ends, or sides of the magnetic device, and a third magnetic pole of a different polarity from the other two magnetic poles, wherein the third magnetic pole is located inside the magnetic device and between the other two magnetic poles. Moreover, the magnetic device is configured with two openings located at the two transition boundaries/interfaces of the three-pole magnetic field. As such, the two transition boundaries become accessible to objects. In particular, when another magnet is inserted at an interface between two magnetic poles, the magnet will 'register' right at the interface and hover over or be suspended at the opening of the magnetic device.

Methods and apparatus for generating magnetic fields

A propulsion system, comprising: a fan blade housing; a plurality of fan blades within the fan blade housing; one or more rows of permanent magnets, affixed to the outside of the fan blade housing; one or more fan blade bearings; one or more magnetic field generators affixed to the one or more fan blade bearings and corresponding to the one or more rows of permanent magnets, the magnetic field generators configured to cause the permanent magnets to be propelled forward in the same direction, thereby causing the fan blade housing to which they are attached, and the fan blades within, to spin.
