description: From $25 maglev toys to $1,149 force-measurement rigs: what is physically in the box in each price band, and which kit fits which project.
encoded: Search for a superconductor or levitation kit and the results run from $25 toys to four-figure lab apparatus, often described in nearly identical language. The differences are real and easy to state. This guide sorts the market into four categories by what is physically in the box and what each can demonstrate — so you can match the kit to the project, not the marketing. What you are actually paying for Four things separate a $25 kit from a $1,000 one: whether there is a superconductor in the box at all (and whether it is a single-domain YBCO levitator or a weaker sintered disc), the magnets (an engineered track versus a single cube), the cooling provisions (a foam bath and handling tools, or nothing), and whether the kit can produce measurements rather than only a spectacle. Category 1 — permanent-magnet maglev kits (~$25–$150, no liquid nitrogen) No superconductor: levitation by permanent-magnet repulsion, stabilised by guide rails, because Earnshaw’s theorem forbids stable static levitation with magnets alone. Toy-grade versions demonstrate the idea; the physics available for an actual project depends on magnet quality. Our Magnetic Train Science Fair Kit sits at the top of this category: a levitating vehicle on a magnet track, strong enough to carry measurable payloads — which turns it into a real levitation-height-versus-load experiment, with no cryogenics and no safety approvals. Category 2 — basic superconductor demonstration kits (~$139–$180) A YBCO disc, a magnet and tweezers. This is the format most distributor-listed “economy superconductivity kits” share, at similar prices. What varies is the superconductor itself and where the kit comes from: we manufacture ours, so the Economy Superconductivity Levitation Kit (from $139) uses our own levitators, can be upgraded at purchase with a stronger levitator and a magnetic track (up to $399), and every part — including the disc, which is a consumable if handled roughly — is available as a spare rather than a rea…

description: Turn quantum levitation into real experimental physics: variables, field-cooling protocol, force measurement, uncertainty and the graphs judges want to see.
encoded: A superconductor floating above a magnet is a demonstration. A science-fair project is an experiment. Judges — and the ISEF judging criteria they work from — reward a testable question, defined variables, controls, repeated measurements and honest uncertainty, not impressive apparatus on its own. This page turns quantum levitation into exactly that kind of project: a quantitative measurement of the flux-pinning force. The research question Pick one question you can answer with numbers. Good examples: How does the pinning force change with the gap between the superconductor and the magnet at field-cooling? Which magnet geometry — ring, cube array, or track segment — pins the disc most strongly per gram of magnet? How much payload can a field-cooled disc carry before it detaches, and how does that depend on cooling height? How does the force decay as the disc warms after leaving the nitrogen bath? Variables and controls Independent variable (change one only): field-cooling gap, magnet configuration, payload, or elapsed time after cooling. Dependent variable: the vertical force in newtons, or the levitation height in millimetres. Controls: the same YBCO disc throughout, the same cooling protocol (see below — this matters more than anything else), the same soak time in liquid nitrogen (60 s minimum), and the same magnet unless the magnet is your variable. Two ways to measure force Route 1 — the purpose-built rig. The Meissner Effect & Flux Pinning Force Experiment Kit includes a force-measurement unit, interchangeable magnetic heads and a data logger that exports your readings for analysis. This is the shortest path from question to graph, and the exported data makes the analysis section of your report straightforward. Route 2 — the kitchen-scale method. With any levitation kit — the Economy Superconductivity Kit is enough — place a digital scale under the magnet, zero it, then field-cool the disc above it. Pressing the disc down reads as increased weight; pulling it up…

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: A levitation project stands out at a science fair because nothing else on the table is doing it. The catch is that the best version needs liquid nitrogen, and the version that needs none is a different project with different physics. This page sorts out which one you can actually build, then covers the planning, safety and presentation that decide your score. The short answer Biggest wow for the money: the Economy Superconductivity Levitation Kit ($139–$399) — a real YBCO superconductor locked in mid-air. Needs liquid nitrogen. Best for a judged, data-driven project: the Meissner & Flux-Pinning Force Experiment Kit ($899–$1,149) — measures pinning force and exports the data. Method in our flux-pinning force experiment guide. Best without liquid nitrogen: the Magnetic Train Science Fair Kit ($69–$172) — a permanent-magnet maglev train, no cryogenics and no safety approvals. Three projects, sorted by what you can get hold of Start here: six ways to demonstrate levitation An overview of the whole field — still magnets, ring magnets, DIY tracks and three superconductor demonstrations. Read this first if you have not settled on a project yet. Maglev train — no liquid nitrogen Permanent magnets and a guide-walled track. Buildable in any classroom with no cryogenics and no special safety approval. Best suited to demonstrating friction, load and the limits of magnetic stability. Superconductor hoverboard — needs liquid nitrogen A YBCO disc cooled to −196 °C locks above a magnetic track and stays there at any angle. This is true stable levitation and it wins fairs, but you need a supply of liquid nitrogen and an adult supervising. Which one should you pick? Start with the liquid nitrogen question, because it decides everything else. If you can get a few litres through a school lab, a university department or a local welding or medical supplier, build the superconductor project — it demonstrates a genuine quantum effect and there is no way for a judge to mistake it for a tric…

description: Explore superconductor levitation and create a tabletop hoverboard with magnets. In this science fair experiment students can explore magnetic levitation and superconductors.
encoded: This project levitates a small train on permanent magnets alone — no liquid nitrogen, no cryogenic handling, no special safety kit. That makes it one of the few levitation projects you can build and demonstrate in an ordinary classroom. If you can get hold of liquid nitrogen, the superconductor hoverboard project shows genuinely stable levitation and tends to score higher with judges. Why would anyone want a train that floats? Moving anything takes energy. A train resists changes to its velocity in proportion to its mass, which is why a heavier train needs a bigger push to get going, and why that push costs more fuel. Getting up to speed is only half the problem, though. Once a train reaches cruising speed it still burns energy continuously, because resistance forces are constantly trying to slow it down. Two forces dominate. Air drag grows sharply with speed. Rolling friction comes from the wheels themselves — steel wheels flexing against steel rails, bearings turning, and wheels slipping when the grip runs out. Wheel slip is the practical ceiling: past roughly 300 km/h, conventional wheeled trains start fighting their own contact patch more than the air. Remove the wheels and you remove that ceiling. A train that never touches its track has no rolling friction and no wheel slip, leaving only air drag to overcome. That is the entire argument for magnetic levitation, and it is the argument your project is demonstrating. Why magnets alone refuse to hold still Magnets are the obvious way to lift something without touching it. Put two magnets close together with like poles facing and they push apart hard enough to carry real weight. The catch is stability. Try balancing one magnet above another and it will not simply hover — it flips, slides sideways and falls. This is not a matter of technique. It is a result known as Earnshaw’s theorem: a stationary object cannot be held in stable equilibrium by permanent magnets alone. Every position that looks balanced is balanced …

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="4 wire measurement setup" class="wp-image-106976" width="271" height="270" srcset="https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4-wire-measurement-setup.jpg 320w, h…

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…

description: A superconductor cooled in liquid nitrogen hangs above a magnetic track and glides along it. How to build the demonstration, and how to turn it into a science fair project a judge will mark well.
encoded: A superconductor cooled in liquid nitrogen will hang in mid-air above a magnetic track and glide along it with almost no friction — a real hoverboard, at desk scale. It also makes an unusually strong science fair project, because unlike most levitation demonstrations you can measure it, not just admire it. What you are actually demonstrating This is the part most projects get wrong, and getting it right is what separates a good board from an average one. Two different effects are at work, and they are not the same thing: The Meissner effect is the superconductor expelling magnetic field from its interior. On its own it produces repulsion — and repulsion alone is unstable. A magnet floating purely by repulsion slides off sideways almost immediately. Flux pinning is what actually holds the disc in place. YBCO is a type-II superconductor, which means magnetic field does not get expelled completely. Instead it threads through the material in thousands of discrete quantised tubes, or vortices, and defects in the ceramic trap those vortices where they are. The disc is effectively pinned to the field pattern it was cooled in. That distinction is why the disc will hang below a magnet, or sit locked at an angle, and stay there. Pure repulsion cannot do that. If your write-up says “the Meissner effect makes it float”, it is not quite right — and a physics teacher will notice. Turning a demonstration into an experiment A levitating disc is a spectacle. A science project needs a question with a measurable answer. The demonstration becomes an experiment the moment you introduce something you can change and something you can measure. Workable questions, in rough order of difficulty: How does levitation height depend on the field strength below the disc? Change the number of magnet layers; measure the gap. How long does levitation last, and what determines it? Time from removal of coolant to the disc touching down, against ambient temperature or disc thickness. How does track spac…

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.

But we haven’t just created a sophisticated demo for audiences to view; we developed our kits to be simple-to-use and highly engaging educational tools. You Can Experiment with Quantum Levitation It’s time to take quantum phenomena into your own hands! We designed our mini-maglev kit for whole classrooms to be able to explore circular motion. Your students can operate the kit themselves, conducting meaningful experiments like: Circular motion – polar vs. cartesian coordinates Circular motion – constant velocity Harmonic motion I Harmonic motion II – tuneable harmonic oscillator Conservation of mechanical energy Linear momentum conservation I Linear momentum conservation II – plastic collisions Each involves three straightforward steps: 1. Perform the experiment Position the maglev track (horizontal / tilted), then lock the levitator/s on the track and prepare your smartphone camera. Record several videos of the experiment using different parameters. 2. Extract the data Export your videos to Tracker software. Examine the recorded motion of the levitators with your students, and have them identify the relevant parameter involved (coordinates, velocity, angle, etc). <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/03e27d03-77dd-4403-913d-237868882e1d.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-480" width="312" height="214" srcset="https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/03e27d03-77dd-4403-913d-237868882e1d.jpg 745w, https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/03e27d03-77dd-4403-913d-237868882e1d-510x350.jpg 510w, https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/03e27d03-77dd-4403-913d-237868882e1d-600x412.jpg 600w, https://quantumlevitation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/03e27d03-77dd-4403-913d-237868882e1d-350x241.jpg 350w, https://quantumle…
