From the developer:
This applet illustrates the forces on a current carrying coil sitting on the axis of a permanent magnet. For current flowing in one direction in the coil the force on the coil will be upward, and if the current is strong enough the coil will levitate, floating on the magnetic fields of the coil plus the magnet. This is the way one form of MagLev works.
