WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS

[snukka]

TAGER: BEHOLD THE POWER OF MAGNETISM!!!!!

[Craward]

DAD DAD I WANNA PLAY TRAINS TOO!

[d1g07]

great idea but whats the control system for it

[chrisnolan11]

it's quite strange really!

[evilmamaluigi]

Troll physics at its best

[AndonPrior]

This is so awesome.

[a222m]

this shit is not fun :p

[sewageable]

I don't suppose anyone will know the answer to this but, how long does a given quantity of nitrogen cool the super magnet for? i.e assuming train + passengers weighs 50 tonnes, how much liquid nitrogen would be required to keep magnet cool for a distance of 100miles?

[BumbleBeeGS]

@sewageable Its all a matter of keeping it at operation temperature. Heat transfer is the same speed in all environments. Gold plating the outside would help it to resist heat and since theres no friction it wouldn't wear away. If the tracks are designed in the right way, the magnet under the train could generate electricity to help power a cooling unit. It would be extremely efficient in the long run.

[a222m]

@sewageable Mate they are about to find materials that can be SC, down to about -50 degree cesius, that means, that in the next years, we maybe can use electricity, or other tricks to keep it, since its only -50...

[gn2sho]

There is actually a commuter train like this in Norfolk, VA. Doesnt work though.

[ungfla]

WITCH

[modrnbeatnik]

I'm with you polpotsdog, I'm holing on for a hoverboard. whoa man. That'll kick ass.

[JennyMarie19]

pretty awesome! stumbled from texas :)

[polpotsdog]

im waiting for the hoverboard from back to the future,,,then its suicide. that will do me.

bloody hell this looks awesome!

stumbled from Emerald QLD

[vincenzo2342]

One day we will see a railwayman filling up the train's nitrogen tank, the he will shout "Ready!".. at the end he will push the train with his leg, like on a skateboard.

[Salinea]

@rayonius There are many gases when cooled to the liquid state that could provide the low temperature required for superconduction however I believe that liquid N is used because it's the most easily manufactured and evaporates into a non-toxic gas.

I would be curious to see just how they would pull this off with large trains...as cool as this tech is, it doesn't seem scalable due to the size/weight to magnetic field strength. It would also need a propulsion system (air provides resistance).

[PodgeM86]

less den da frictional coefficient on the tracks anyway. I think japan has da fastest underground train in the world which uses compressed air to float the train in a tube slightly bigger den da train.

[quicksnaps27]

i love how it still looks exactly like the old steam engines, only instead with freezing col fog

[guitarconspiracy]

the core of this super conductor is jesus.

[HckyFan0001]

Stumbled upon from USA

[pokefan274]

this concept of superconductivity is way too good

[tomyloveu]

just one thing to say WOW

[Termato]

ROLLER COASTERS!!!!

[rayonius]

I wonder if there's a way to cool things down to these temperatures efficiently without using liquid nitrogen.

[XANDERXXZ]

there are certain materials that have been found that only need to be cooled down very little to be superconductive, but they are very rare materials and hard to make and quite unpractical.

[dimaszz]

using air-con technology maybe?

[marcatz18]

wow, this is truly what the future looks like on the science of transportation that has been previewed through science fiction movies... nice one and the last part is very COOL i liked it very much, a train running on the sides of a building elevators will soon become obsolete hehehehehe good job... how soon this will be realized...?

[arianapemberton]

BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!

[JaymieWaymie]

Thank you for this excellent video. I have a question... If the track is wider than the vehicle, can it move freely from side to side accross the width of the track, given that the vehilce has the appropiate controls?

[Atropos0]

Probably not. It will ride at a specific point on the magnetic field - however that is oriented.

[Th3Sup3rN3rd]

Wow ive only seen this done with a regular magnet i never even thought this could be used for transportation

[xxWileyWoodxx]

stumbled

[shutemdwn]

thats cool, but you wont catch me "hovering" around the outside of a building on that thing,lol.

[tylee93]

ya i agree i would never go around a building unless it was 1 story

[Xenophanessmith]

Lol... Imagine what a shortage of liquid nitrogen would be like. Splat.

[oOoxelAoOo]

79% of the atmosphere is nitrogen. There's not likely to be a shortage.

[Xenophanessmith]

is it liquid though?

[aforcevids]

WOW!!!!!!!

that is soo cool!

it is amazing how that after you see the magnet once, it becomes a hard, non-magnetic figure!

Also, I wouldn't have thought of using liquid nitrogen!

very smart!

[Indensity]

Can I get 1

[Xenophanessmith]

No.

[Indensity]

got one 3 days ago

[Xenophanessmith]

Damn it just go along!

[tequeray]

oil is old school

[actionhankben]

Envizenged?

[witchbonny]

Здорово, но пока это воплотят в жизнь :) и будет ли это экономически оправдано, и каким образом поддерживать постоянную температуру для сверхпроходимости. Но все равно:) Потрясающе!

[Indensity]

Valid point :)

[UbeefHooked]

El Diablo!!!

[TvMiguel]

When i was a kid i designed a car that levitated using, you guessed it, opposite magnets, for a science project... couldnt figure how to control it without boarders/walls... seeing this makes me happy someone figured it out... this is DEF the future

[TurtleVVisperer]

The last scene is really cool. That truly looks like the stuff of the future.

[Orangeflava]

indeed!

[popyourcorn]

lol think how much hot wheels would make if they put supercundictive magnets in their cars:)

[sprayframe]

haha 1:51

[arbide2]

How long does the superconduction last.

[dhakagod]

as long as the superconducting material has a specific FREEZING COLD temperature somthing like -183 degree Celcuis.....it depends on the surrounding atmosphere's temperature...if our room temperature was -183, we wouldnt need refueling :D

[gdiamandutube]

Everything look ok! but it is not so easy to be produced.The magnetic field is about 17,5 Tesla, which is more than harmful and also liquid nitrogen is very expensive and dangerous...So this example can only exist for lab-use and experiments...

[arbide2]

You have written that liquid nitrogen is very expensive but I saw a documentary where the scientist says that it cost less than milk. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[darkzsign]

what was the trail made of?

[ladislao2]

plastic

[araquan]

I think I know what I want for Christmas...

[SailorBarsoom]

Wonderful. I agree with clerlic: let's get those room temperature superconductors going.

Actually, make that "Sahara in August temperature superconductors." A transport system that doesn't work at over 25 Celsius wouldn't be much use in a lot of the world.

[Goatmon]

It would have some uses in developing limited transports in very cold regions of the world, but yeah it wouldn't much good elsewhere.

[hypnoticatrance]

yes ... needs -92C ... hehe

[PCXPBOY]

psh... future toys!

[bwarrrrk]

y cant we do that for the GCSEs

[Spoiledtexan44]

There's an English version? What! I had to watch the German one like 100 times to understand it, and I still didn't understand it. I wish I could have known there was an English version before my science fair. But the German version...like I said before...saved my science fair project, so thank you.

[louthlol]

lol tool

[louthlol]

lol tool

[clerlic]

Wow! I hope room temperature superconductors will be invented soon.

[rpetresco]

Great video and great explanation. Nice way to show the maglev principles.

[drumminamigo]

Cheers Simple explantation is helping with my Physics CWK
