QuantumLevitation

Suspending a superconducting disc above or below a set of permanent magnets. The magnetic field is locked inside the superconductor ; a phenomenon called 'Quantum Trapping'.

it's not Quantum Levitation! but Quantum Locking

[MEKILLIM]

This is like Heron's Aeolipile, a novelty that could one day revolutionise the world!

[Pimped Leebster]

Who else looked this up for a science project

[Anonymouskmn]

Awesome video. They should use this technology in future vehicles.

So this is how columbia floats...

[rlobianco]

Science is awesome

if this were taught to very young children in school we would live in a very cool world and outer world. this seems simple and if this is simple imagine where we could take this. I think there are different kinds of space. where space meets space you will have an infinite amount of rail. hint hint

is it possible to use interplanetary or intergalactic gravity ? build a flying saucer shaped vehicle with close to 0 kelvin on the outer surface ( peltier convection) and superconductor columns on the inside that join the top and bottom superconductor caps to allow field lock and control the radius of these internal columns with large wheels :D ...or control their superconductor quality using electricity to steer the vehicle

[Chay Todasa]

This was very interesting.

[AIPLAYER1]

haha a back to the future one

[TimelessTokes]

would it still work if the super conductor was cooled not by nitrogen but by the coldness of space . and if so could we use the earths magnetic field to travel like an alien??? dodododo dodododo dodododo But realy im stoned.

[EngineerDestro]

This is really amazing!
