Okay, I'm way out of my depth here, but might it be possible to construct a whole body outfit with a gradient of iron content from head to foot such that with a sufficiently powerful, flat magnet on the ceiling you could approximate the inverse square law of gravity across your suit so that you could walk about on it (admittedly with some discomfort) almost as though you were walking on the ground? Falling over would be unfortunate, of course, but I'm just wondering what the theoretical problems would be.

The force of magnetism falls off quickly with distance. The force required to offer much pull at 6 feet (your theoretical head) would be huge at 6 inches, so tuning the 'suit' would be insanely difficult...and you would have to stay exactly the same distance from the magnetic force at all times (with all parts) or the balance would be off and you would fall up or down uncontrollably. I'm sure there are other problems, like subjecting yourself to a super powerful magnetic field for extended periods maybe?

I like the stuff this guy makes, but I can't upvote him because he's fucking annoying.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually a viral campaign for X-Men, or at least if he was being paid by them.
