Abstract
One aspect of this disclosure is a sliding apparatus. In some aspects, the sliding apparatus may comprise an elongated body containing magnets. The elongated body may comprise a toe end, a tail end, a top surface, and a slide surface. In one aspect, the magnets may be located between the toe and tail ends of the elongated body, spaced apart from one another in the elongated body, and polarized to define top poles oriented toward the top surface of the elongated body and bottom poles oriented toward the slide surface of the elongated body. For example, the magnets may be arranged so the bottom poles have alternating polarities in a direction relative to the elongated body. Related apparatus and systems also are disclosed.
