Jones, I noticed high frequency transients on videos scope screens at the peaks of the traces. I think they are real and may they are electrical interference of dc motor (this can be ruled out because they could be present all all videos) or result of mechanical ultrasonic ringing of magnet or a related to behaviour of Nd magnets when they receive magnetic impulses. I will investigating it tomorrow. These transients can be clearly seen on video dated Nov. 7.

No, it is directly attached to scope having 1 MOhm impededence. OTH, I am monitoring the current driving the motor. Sometimes current drops up 8% when floating magnet get stablely spinning on the air compared motor running stand alone. This not really expected while the extra signifant vibration caused by floating magnet interaction. This vibration would normally cause stress on rotor and would increase the friction. For example 63 mA to 57 mA at 25 V.
