Levitation through superconductivity

Recommended Posts

Holy fuck that is amazing. I must educate myself on superconductors and the like because that is flat out incredible in my mind.

I remember seeing short video clips of floating magnets back in the 80s when high-temperature superconductors first started appearing. They're fun to see in action though it looks like room temperature superconductors are still some way off.

Just looked through the comments and it looks like there's another Theism Vs. Atheism debate going on. Why do these always pop up in the most unnecessary places?

You have to pay money if you want the skateboard to have over 10,000 lindefs.

My reaction when I saw you changed your avatar :P

Yeah, that really is pretty awesome. Looks like soon there's gonna be a new way to film scenes in sci-fi/supernatural movies/shows.

This has been known about for almost 100 years now. The problem with it is scientists cannot get it to work at ambient temps. While it's pretty cool, it's not much more than a neat trick to show off.

If they could get it to work at more normal temperatures, it could revolutionize the way we live.

I recall seeing a picture of this on my 6th grade science book. Not that exciting.
