does anyone know of a place I could go to get really powerful magnets, but that are in strips?

Click for larger image

so something like this, but way more powerful

what i plan on doing is using the magnet's repulsion from one another when flipped upside down to make something that would be probably 25 pounds float about a cm off the ground

any help?

I knew a girl that did that kind of thing as a science project and she just glued down individual magnets.

unitednuclear.com has super strong magnets, but not in strips. I think that only NASA can afford to get that strong of a magnet in a strip. Are you willing to put down 100's of dollars on this?
