encoded: Magnetic levitation has moved from futuristic dreams to science class reality, and at the center of it all are maglev magnets. But what exactly are they, and how can they make objects float? In this article, we’ll explore how maglev magnets work, where they’re commonly used, and how they bring physics to life in American classrooms and science fairs. What Are Maglev Magnets? Maglev (short for magnetic levitation) magnets are typically made of strong neodymium materials. They’re arranged to either repel or stabilize objects without physical contact, creating the floating effect that defines magnetic levitation. There are two main types of maglev magnets: Type Description Permanent magnets (NdFeB) Strong, affordable, used in most DIY kits and toys Superconducting magnets Require cooling, used in advanced demonstrations and research In most educational kits, permanent neodymium magnets are the go-to option due to their strength and ease of use. How Do Maglev Magnets Work? Maglev magnets work by exploiting the fundamental law of magnetism: like poles repel. When you align the same poles of two magnets, they push away from each other with enough force to counteract gravity. To stabilize levitation (so the floating object doesn’t flip or fall), kits often use a guided magnetic track or a balance of attraction and repulsion. In superconducting applications, “flux pinning” locks the levitating object in space. According to MIT- “Magnetic levitation illustrates key concepts in motion, force, and equilibrium, making it ideal for active learning.” Where Are Maglev Magnets Used? Maglev magnets aren’t just for science kits. You’ll find them in: High- speed maglev trains that glide above tracks with zero friction Levitating display stands for products and gadgets DIY kits that make magnetic levitation accessible to students Superconducting experiments in research labs In the U.S., they’re especially popular in STEM programs and science fairs. With over 94% of U.S. schools integra…

encoded: Magnetic levitation is a phenomenon that combines physics and wonder, capturing the imagination of anyone who sees it in action. From science enthusiasts to educators, showcasing magnetic levitation is a perfect way to explore advanced scientific principles in a visually stunning manner. If you’re looking for engaging ways to demonstrate this, we’ve got six incredible setups that are perfect for classrooms, science fairs, or just wowing your friends at home. These demonstrations are also great for science experiment kits for teens, providing hands-on learning about quantum physics and quantum levitation. Let’s dive in! Levitation Over a Still Magnet This is one of the simplest and most striking demonstrations of magnetic levitation. By cooling a superconductor to its critical temperature and placing it above a magnet, you’ll witness the superconductor float steadily in midair. This occurs because the superconductor locks the magnetic field lines, creating a stable 3D locking effect. How to Set It Up: Use a superconductor disk and a strong neodymium magnet. Cool the superconductor with liquid nitrogen until it’s fully supercooled. This should take around 30 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the bubbling subsides. Carefully place the superconductor above the magnet and push it towards the magnet. You should feel a slight resistance as the flux gets pinned inside the superconductor. It now hovers in place, seemingly defying gravity. Pro Tip: Once the levitation is stable, try gently pushing the superconductor in any direction. It will remain locked in its new position, demonstrating the robustness and 3D nature of quantum locking. Floating with Ring Magnets Want to take it up a notch? Create a mesmerizing rotating & floating effect using ring magnets. Once the superconductor is cooled, place it on the ring path and watch as it locks into place and glides effortlessly. Don’t forget to lock the superconductor in the field by pushing it towards the magnet, feeling the …

encoded: The scientific world is in turmoil. Room temperature superconductivity has been discovered. Or so it seems. A group of scientists from South Korea (Sukbae Lee, Jihoon Kim, Hyun-Tak Kim, Sungyeon Im, SooMin An, and Keun Ho Auh) published two pre-print (not peer reviewed yet) manuscripts describing what they claim is the first room temperature, ambient pressure superconductors. https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12037 https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008 The promise of room temperature superconductors is, of course, huge: Create efficient electronic devices that do not dissipate heat (just think of your computer and how it heats up when it works hard). Transfer huge amount of energy (current) from afar without dissipation, e.g. spread solar and wind energy sources across the globe and transfer the electricity thousands of kilometers/miles to where it’s most needed. Create enormous magnetic fields for MRI machines / particle accelerators / fusion energy device / etc. without the need for expensive and cumbersome cryogenics. And much more. What makes a superconductor a superconductor? Any superconductor is characterized by 2 intrinsic properties: Zero dc electrical resistance Meissner effect Both are not trivial to measure. Let me explain why. 1. Zero dc electrical resistance Measuring the lack of resistance is like measuring the lack of a signal. You need to have a suitable measurement setup that will not be affected by the measurement itself or by the surroundings. The most common way to measure the electrical resistance of a superconductor directly is the 4-wire technique – inject current into the SC using two current leads and probe the voltage using two separate contacts. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4-wire-measurement-setup.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-106976" width="271" height="270" srcset="https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4-wire-measurement-setup.jpg 320w, https://quantumlevitation…

description: Explore superconductor levitation and create a tabletop hoverboard with magnets. In this science fair experiment students can explore magnetic levitation and superconductors.
encoded: Why do we need levitating trains? In order to move any object we need to invest energy and convert it to kinetic energy. Any object resists changes to its velocity depending on its mass. Heavier objects will require stronger forces to start moving (change their velocity) and hence more energy overall: F – being the force needed to change the velocity (or create an acceleration) m – the object mass a – the change in velocity of the object or acceleration. Even after a train reaches its desired speed we still need to constantly invest energy in order to maintain its velocity. The train “feels” resistance forces – forces that oppose its movement and try to stop it. Resistance comes from the air around the train & rolling friction acting on the wheels. Wheel slip is one of sources of rolling friction that limits train speeds Reducing friction Regular wheeled trains are subject to rolling friction acting on the train wheels which limits its maximal speed to ~350km/h. In order to exceed this limit we need to get rid of the wheels and levitate the train. The easiest way to lift an object is through magnetic forces. Magnets (and electro-magnets) are a good source of repulsion forces. When we put two magnets close together, they either attract or repel each other. However, magnetic repulsion is unstable – try levitating one magnet on top of another without support and see what happens. In order to create a stable magnetic levitation we need to create a stabilizing mechanism – a system that increases / decreases the magnetic forces when the train gets closer/farther away from the track. I.e when the train is too close to the bottom track the magnetic repulsion increases, pushing the train back up and when it moves too close to one side of the tracks – a magnetic repulsion increases on one side and attraction forces on the other side, pushing the train back to the center of the tracks.

description: Explore superconductor levitation and create a tabletop hoverboard with magnets. In this science fair experiment students can explore magnetic levitation and superconductors.
encoded: Ever wondered how Quantum levitation is possible? It’s all due to superconducting materials! These materials have special properties that allow them to conduct electricity without any resistance. When a magnet is placed near a superconducting material, the superconductor does two things at the same time – expel some of the magnetic field from its body (Meissner effect) and pin some of the field inside (flux pinning). This creates two effects: Magnetic repulsion – the superconductor “becomes” an opposite magnet and feels a repulsion force. Quantum Locking – locking of the superconductor in the surrounding magnetic field, preventing the pinned magnetic flux lines from moving inside the material. How Does Superconducting Levitation or Quantum Levitation Work? Superconducting levitation requires two conditions to be met in order for it to happen. First, the material itself must be cooled to temperatures well below room temperatures (around -163°C / -261°F). This is because all the superconductors we know of today, become superconductive only at low temperatures. Second, a powerful magnet must be placed near the superconductor. Initially, this causes electron pairs (Cooper pairs) within the material to start moving, and produce a magnetic field opposite to the external field, and as a result create magnetic repulsion. This is called the Meissner effect. A small magnetic ball is dropped above a superconductor. Its magnetic field is being expelled from the superconductor and as a result the ball is repelled from the superconductor. If the magnetic field is strong enough and the superconductor is of the right type (called Type II), the field will overcome the Meissner expulsion and penetrate the body of the superconductor. The magnetic field will enter the body in the form of discrete magnetic tubes or fluxons. The fluxons may get stuck in pinning centers – areas where superconductivity is relatively weaker, such as defects, grain boundaries, etc. This effect is called Flux…

encoded: We can easily build a true hoverboard with superconductors. Superconductors Superconductors are a perfect example for a Quantum Physics that is macroscopic, large and accessible to play with. Superconductivity is created by having discrete energy levels AND by having a large energy gap between the lowest energy state and higher available states. You can read more about this here. Besides being perfect electrical conductors, superconductors exhibit the strangest magnetic properties: Meissner effect – diamagnetic expulsion of external magnetic fields. The superconductor expels magnetic fields by becoming an opposite magnet. Flux pinning or Quantum Locking – the ability to lock magnetic fields. The locking traps the superconductor in mid air, allowing it to levitate and suspend in a surrounding magnetic field. The combination of both allows us to create frictionless, levitating motion and a true hoverboard experience.

encoded: Superconductivity introduces one of the most technically difficult challenges for physicists – designing a measurement setup that will be sensitive to both low (& zero) voltages/resistance and to high voltages/resistance at the same time. Below we give a short review of physicists and not students can measure superconductivity in the lab using easily available equipment. The original graph from Onnes’s publication from 1911 showing the resistance of mercury as a function of its temperature. (H. K. Onnes, Comm. Leiden, 124c, 1911). Measuring Superconductivity When current passes through a material, the potential energy of the electrons changes along the current path. Voltage is the potential energy (per unit charge) of the conductive electrons and it is Voltage difference that we actually measure in most experiments. The electrical resistance of any material can be derived from Ohm’s law: R – The resistance to electrical current I – Electric current V – voltage The voltage changes as the current flows through any material. However, when the changes we are after are small, we need to filter out voltage drops from unwanted sources such as the contacts, wires, noise, etc. In order to solve this problem physicists came up with a clever measurement setup that is sensitive only to the voltage inside the material under question. In a 2-wire measurement we inject the current and measure the voltage using the same leads. We measure the voltage outside the superconductor and are therefor sensitive to changes across the contacts & wires as well as the voltage drop inside the superconductor (if it exists). Since the voltage drop in the superconducting state is zero (and infinitesimally small close to the superconducting state) we mainly sense the contacts & wires. In a 4-wire measurement the voltage probes are connected inside the current path. Current does not flow through the voltage leads & contacts and hence the measured voltage is sensitive only to the voltage drop inside t…

encoded: Qualitative Experiment steps: Quantum Levitation is the stable levitation and suspension of a superconductor in a surrounding magnetic field. It is actually the result of two separate phenomena: Meissner effect – the repulsion of magnetic fields from the superconductor body Flux pinning – the pinning of magnetic flux inside the superconductor We can perform the following experiments to distinguish between the two – Meissner effect: Take a Quantum Levitator and place it upside down, with the superconductor at the bottom facing up. Cool with liquid nitrogen. Make sure not to over fill the nitrogen liquid. Take a small magnet (like this) and gently drop it a few inches/cm above the superconductor. It will jump right up, being repelled from the superconductor. This is perfect diamagnetism caused by the Meissner effect. Flux pinning: Repeat the same setup with the levitator upside down and cooled. This time, push the magnet using plastic tweezers closer to the superconductor. Make sure to push the magnet close enough to feel the resistance. Now, when you release the magnet – it stays floating, rotating around its symmetry axis. Quantitive experiment: Get actual numbers and analyze the forces – repulsion and attraction, between a superconductor and a magnet.
