Claim:
1. A diamagnetic levitation system, comprising: a) a plurality of open torus magnet segments, each said segment having a first arm, a second opposite arm, said first arm and said second arm extending from a base, and a free end of said first arm and a free end of said second arm forming a gap, wherein said plurality of open torus magnet segments extends along the longest dimension of a subject being levitated; b) said first arm and said second arm are superconducting magnets and said base is a superconducting magnet or a control electromagnet; c) each said open torus magnet segment makes a planar magnetic field which forms a flat ellipse on ends of said planar magnetic field as said planar magnetic field crosses from said free end of said first arm to said free end of said second arm, wherein said planar magnetic field is positioned only across said gap; d) said plurality of open torus magnet segments levitates diamagnetic objects within and/or above said gaps; and e) a support for said diamagnetic objects, said support being positioned in or near said gaps, wherein said support is a chamber positioned around said diamagnetic objects.
