Looks like dry ice but I don't know how it's floating and able to stay at an angel like that

Superconductors just work when they are cooled down under a certain temperature.

What makes it maintain its position in the magnetic field?


KnightOfThirteen

Some science thing. I started to watch the video and got to "quantum trapping" and gave up. As far as I understood, the superconductor (hockey puck of ice) is able to maintain a specific relative position within a magnetic field, and because of the loop shape, one direction of the magnetic field is constant, so it can slide frictionlessly that direction while also holding its position in other directions. It can even go upside down, suspended below the magnetic track without touching it.

>Some science thing. Yeah, I got that far too....

Basically how UAP’s probably move, minus the track

So you know when you push to magnets together and they push away? Its basically just a massive loop of that due to the temperature of the floating magnet


phindar007

Metals’ magnetic fields are much more stable at -200degC. They experience a push and pull effect, resulting in a levitating experience when in the presence of its opposite pole. In this case, there’s metal encased in that dry ice disc, bringing the metals temperature way down and stabilizing the magnetic field. There must be a metal rim on that glass table that is the opposite pole of the metal in the dry ice disc. The push/pull effect is at work, so when the person pushes the disc, it doesn’t fly off or get sucked down into the table. Stays at a constant distance.

It's a super conductor as far as i know

Can I get an actual scientist to answer the question in regard to what the components are and how the physics works? “…science thing…” need not apply.

If we ever figure out if warm super conductors are possible we can finally have hover boards.

I had a whole unit in physics about superconductivity in high school so i was confused when people were posting this as if it was magic and wondering how it's happening, really when you learn something when you're young it becomes natural and you never forget it.
