Why can't we fly with magnets?


Why can't we fly with magnets? To be very specific: the sum of all magnets you are bringing shouldn't exceed a magnetic field strength of more than 5.25 milligauss at a distance of 15 feet. When exceeding this strength, they can interfere with the aircraft's navigation and electronic equipment.


Can a magnet repel a human?

We are diamagnetic, which means we are repelled by a magnetic field. Normally, the effect is too small to be observed, however a human could be levitated by a strong enough field.
