  • This is called the Meissner Effect.

    Pour liquid nitrogen over a magnet and it becomes superconductive.

    When the magnet warms up, there is no levitation.

    That can be achieved without the liquid nitrogen though using high frequency electrostatics. Or spinning copper fast enough to repel the magnet and it floats.

    Or by using a completely different magnetization process like Professor John Searl discovered.

    Also check out the company called CMR (Correlated Magnetics Research)

  • @TheRealVerbz:There's alot about this subject that isn't readily known by the public at large, but it sounds very interesting. Thanks for the insight.
