    "abstract": "In this paper we analyze the dynamic stability of the hovering magnetic top\nfrom first principles without using any preliminary assumptions. We write down\nthe equations of motion for all six degrees of freedom and solve them\nanalytically around the equilibrium solution. Using this solution we then find\nconditions which the height of the hovering top above the base, its total mass,\nand its spinning speed have to satisfy for stable hovering. The calculation\npresented in this paper can be used as a guide to the analysis and synthesis of\nmagnetic traps for neutral particles.",
