1. A dipole line trap system comprising:
a first axis unit, comprising:
a first group of at least three cylindrical diametric magnets mounted in parallel around a first open region, wherein the first group of at least three cylindrical diametric magnets further define a vertical gap and a horizontal gap therebetween, and wherein a length of the horizontal gap is different than a length of the vertical gap; and
a first diamagnetic object in the first open region.
