The motion of a thin rod with viscoelastic magnetizable material in a channelunder the action of the alternating magnetic field of the coils is considered experimentally andtheoretically. The dynamic 2D model of a thin rod with viscoelastic magnetizable material isused. Numerical calculations of the rod motion in a vertical plane under the action of alternatingmagnetic field, gravity and friction are performed using this model. An influence of parametersof the problem on the rod velocity is studied theoretically. Theoretical results are comparedwith experimental data.

The levitation of a permanent disc magnet partially immersed into a magnetic fluid volume on a horizontal plane is studied theoretically and experimentally. Motion of the magnet along a thin magnetic fluid layer is investigated experimentally. A mathematical model of the magnet dynamics is proposed.
