Quantum Levitation

[along4ride]

use it for snowboard, if this only works using low temperatures, put this magnetic field under the snowboarding track , and it's done!

[niqthegunman]

hate physic, love floating thing....

[demonbungle]

This is a viral for Wipeout on the Vita right?.......

[mathyou9]

This music sucks. Here's the same video [even by the same uploader (boazal)] but with way better music:

watch?v=VyOtIsnG71U

[m0tkid]

Maybe have a chassis with wheels and the passenger floats above it? Amazing suspension system potential?

[stainlesschords]

i was gonna be all like magnetic levitation, oh whoopee doo! Then I kept watching, now i feel pwned! :) thats so freaking cool!

[etsiFm]

F*CK Skateboards! GO for production right awaaayy!!! XD

[etsiFm]

unbelievable.. :)

[HaMsTeR0NcRaCk]

lol floating pies lol

[SmexyFTW]

Not quite frictionless motion, still need to contend with the air. Close though.

[DejanMaticnaLSDu]

@boazal what is the use of sapphire in this experiment?

[hykehamontour]

Hahaha! I've tried to make one of these... but 1µm of Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide

(Y Ba2 Cu3 O7) is hard to come by!!!

[RCspeedbreaker]

Haha prof deutscher and prof lerer. Butt a h ind le..rer an you have the german word for german teacher. Haha

[raimo1985]

it's useless, u can't cool every transportation with liquid nitrogen. it seems to me that is just a fun science project..

[stainlesschords]

@raimo1985 surely on a large scale with neodymium magnets one could theorize running a series of coolant tubes across the plate, keeping the nitrogen in a near sealed container allowing venting at the rear creating thrust? Just a thought, albeit a very stab in the dark thought but hey, you never know right? At one time or another, the use of electricity was a preposterous idea. whaddya reckon? I think there's possible viable applications here anyways.

[asedeefe]

we have to make a new form of transportation because bla bla bla. you know so.. maybe this is a great option :c my english is a shiit but i think you understand this fukings words XDDD

[flyer658]

Does anyone know if there is an escape velocity for something being quantum locked on a track?

[thombob1]

Has anyone else noticed that when he does it with 2 and they keep going back and forth that it's perpetual motion?

[MaxSGarcia]

Magnets, How the fuck do they work!?

[SuperMillennium77]

I think the big question that remains and is not answered here is what is the superconductor made of?

[WamBamBoozle88]

I really love the soundtrack -- what is it?

[Hermawan14181]

That's how flying saucer works

[HypnoGypsy]

It would cost a lot of money to put the super conductors on cars rather make road super conductive and just but less expensive magnets on cars so the customer doesn't eat the cost up front when purchasing a car. Would you rather pay for magnets or a super conductor?

[ROBBOTHEMIGHTY]

i want to be a physisist now coz thats cool

[SuperMillennium77]

Truly amazing, this is a real breakthrough. I am very curious of the practical applications that can evolve from this experiment.

[MattVariety]

@SuperMillennium77 Japan's made bullet trains that can travel without surface friction using this method. It's really quite neat, the new trains can travel at a much faster speed than a regular one.

[SuperMillennium77]

@MattVariety I know but you don't need superconductors to make that happen, google transrapid ;)

[moonynia]

I imagined Leonard from The Big Bang Theory doing this.

[ReploideY]

@moonynia LOL That's exactly what I thought.

[EthanDonegal]

Could you freeze a pancake and do this - otherwise I see no use for this technology

[AgiIeBeast]

What kind of sorcery is this?

[feanaroalcarin]

I think something like that was used in Tokio's subway ¿?

[lokken10]

@feanaroalcarin no. They used electromagnetic levitation.

[Axel54films]

That looks fun as hell.

[mwadams1]

I personally can't wait to hover around town. Hopefully, we'll get the whole "must dip it in liquid nitrogen first" thing hammered out soon.

[mcgorgomagan]

0:00-4:34 WOOOOOW

4:35 oh. they're going to use it to kill Palestinians.

[skippythehobolo]

It's not exactly "friction-less" movement- there's still air...

Still freaking awesome!

[22quack]

New form of transportation in the making and they already invented speedbumps :(

[DiZCorruptance]

SCIENCE



[GummyBoar]

You cant see the string.

[SrSomoza]

Wipeout Cars. Im waiting.

[Jonny66636]

@SrSomoza /watch?v=Zqmdv5iyIOY ;)

[karnak99]

I notice they don't name the superconductor.

[andrespereyda]

@karnak99 ceramic material called yttrium barium copper oxide (YBa2Cu3O7-x )

[DiscoSheriffIsaac]

Are you a wizard?

[HypnoGypsy]

1000 nm

[TheShadowOfRapture]

Now get it to react to the earth's magnetic field and we can have hovercars :D

[HypnoGypsy]

@TheShadowOfRapture try it the other way around, supercool roads with that stuff and put the magnets on cars instead of wheels.

[andrespereyda]

@TheShadowOfRapture to me this video is a lesson or a clue in mastering gravity and the other forces intellectually. i feel that when i can understand the whole general theory better, then i can manipulate what i want to manipulate, eg: do things

[HypnoGypsy]

SO MAKE THE ROAD SUPER COOL and PUT those Magnets on Cars!

[XGP15A3]

@HypnoGypsy Or.. put magnets on the road and have superconductors under cars.

[InevitableGirl816]

How expensive was this experiment? I am serious about this question. Including the cost of the magnets on the track which I am guessing are neodymium?

[ValsGym]

Assuming that superconductor can stay cooled for an indefinite amount of time, and he pushed it along the rail, would it keep going indefinitely, until either the magnets magnetic field was to weak (which is like billions of years probably), and or the superconductor was no longer cold enough? Am I understanding this correct.

[andrespereyda]

@ValsGym too

[7Stringuzr]

I want ice cream now. 

[jpigpogi]

The future transportation......



[idfpsycho]

can we use the earth like a huge magnet (gravity) ?

[andrespereyda]

@idfpsycho i'd say this planet's magnetic field would play some part in navigating

[1N71]

yeah yeah it's great and all but... will it blend?

[DisturbedForever92]

How long can it last before requiring to be cooled again?

[5THunderlord]

@DisturbedForever92 Obviously depends on the temperature of the surrounding material.

[Warwipf]

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

[wslylin]

SOOO THATS HOW UFOS ARE MADE...

[Senator1]

Maybe this is how "flying saucers" are able to move at such high speeds? They are made out of special super conductors that can lock in space even with varied EM fields, perhaps due to controlled EM Pulses? Just a thought

[DisturbedForever92]

@Senator1 Well first for that thought to be accurate you'd have to have proper proof that UFO exists... lol

[andrespereyda]

@DisturbedForever92 @Senator1 you're both wrong

[mrmitchell78]

What new devilry is this?

[angryboy2k9]

Ministry of National Infrastructure? Are they going to use this technology to make floating highways now?

[andrespereyda]

@angryboy2k9 no, you dumb ass. think

[angryboy2k9]

@andrespereyda It was a joke you dumb ass. Think.

[andrespereyda]

@angryboy2k9 oh, funny

[hesbatting1000]

2:12 - So... if these Flux Tubes are "pinned in defects" in the superconducting disc... is there a way to intentionally make these so-called flaws so as to enhance this effect ???

[andrespereyda]

@hesbatting1000 i was thinking that2, but this experiment is not meant to be a pragmatic machine. it examines a phenomenon. so i wouldn't get too locked in trying to make the experimental disks "better". at the same time we could learn something perhaps from applying nano-tech in making "flaws", or real-time electronically/logically controlled "flaws". again, i personally would do more study and research with the data that's shown itself so far first.

[zmj275944981]

cooled below -185ºC (-301ºF) the material becomes a superconductor while the night on the moon has a cool temperature -183ºC, how promising it is?

[andrespereyda]

@zmj275944981 26 K close to the winter solstice in north polar Hermite Crater

[Tim8618]

lol thats cool

[Malsum]

Please inform the public in foehand if you ever try field-experiments with this - We have enough morons reporting UFOs as it is....

[PowerSports420]

Now, lets take it to the next level and form a new type of mass transit!

[andrespereyda]

@PowerSports420 walk

[flyingspagetti]

What kind of witchcraft is that?

[WalkinLA]

@flyingspagetti The same that makes your heart beat and your cells leap into existence and stick together with spectacular precision...

[fuzzjunky]

@sharrynuk and it's not just gravity. it will follow the magnet in sideways movement, meaning it also cheats newtons 3rd law

[fuzzjunky]

@sharrynuk it is "locked" with lines of mag force thru the object, they aren't very strong. they can easily fight gravity of a small object. but put the powerful hands of a human on it and it will move, when it is finished however it gets locked again by the lines of force.

[WalkinLA]

@fuzzjunky Gravity is diminished and virtually eliminated near absolute zero. Gravity is a function of the compression of light without which electromagnetic flux predominates and organizes into geometric lattices. SOunds a bit complex but it really isn't. The edges of invisible geometrical patterns governs the making of presence which creates gravity. This technology negates the impact of gravity and reverts to following electromagnetic paths.

[GreyZone7]

@WalkinLA

If so, there'd be no gravity in space which is very near to absolute zero for the most part.

Furthermore, what effect would a compression of massless photons have on gravity ?

Gravity is obviously a function of mass/electrons. Black Holes a very near perfect black bodys which would be weightless , and they are obviously not.



[WalkinLA]

@GreyZone7 I will defer to Dan Winter for this one who explains that gravity is the expression of the compression of energy through a vortex, non-destructively. Dan is mega smart and has found answers by including what science does not (any longer). You can deduce for yourself what that means. Hundreds of videos and text online. He raced past Einstein many years ago by equating gravity and compassion (love - 528 Htz).

@WalkinLA i watched one short video of his so far=interesting, but i have not corroborated yet

[mofix11]

amazing
