> they probably own it
It would be an expensive "vanity patent" since there's no money in it. It's just a science fair project.
But someone did discover the same effect years later, and patented it. Their version used two thick aluminum disks mounted on two separate motors.

> why do they have to spin?
Copper doesn't repel magnets.
MOVING copper can create a field equal to the field from a supermagnet. "Image" effect where the moving copper acts like a mirror for magnets, and there is a distorted 3D image of the supermagnet down inside the copper.

And still, the Japanese Maglev pulverised the high speed record with a track only 2time more expensive than a normal railways.
There are interesting things you can do with this technology like linear actuator or a Mass Driver for space/aircraft launch
(of course that also open the way for Coilgun)

wow ...since you mentioned the name of the company you worked for when you thought of this idea up they probably own it if you ever try to patent it and coould use this as evidence
