Abstract

An isolation system for isolating a first object from vibrations from a second object. Such vibrations will have three orthogonal components, one oriented along a line between the objects, and two oriented 90.degree. apart in a plane normal to that line. The system includes three superconductor/magnet stages, each stage designed to extinguish one of the orthogonal components.
