| If you are… | Get | Because |
|---|---|---|
| Running a physics demonstration lab: lecture-hall demos, open days, outreach | Quantum Levitation Maglev Kit $6,824 |
The flagship, and the most impressive superconductor demonstration there is: a levitator gliding round a Ø72 cm track in front of a full lecture hall. The go-to kit for physics demonstration labs. |
| A school, college or STEM organisation that goes out to demo and teach | Outreach Program Package $2,877 |
The most portable, versatile and affordable way to take the whole show on the road and put it in students’ hands. |
| A student or teacher on a tight budget | Science Fair Superconductivity Kit From $139 |
The most efficient way to demonstrate superconducting levitation and suspension. No other entry-level kit shows frictionless motion on a custom-made maglev track as well as levitation and suspension. |
| Chasing the classic “hangs in mid-air” board photo | Starter Kit From $587 |
The smallest complete kit that gives you the photograph: magnetic rail, levitator and tweezers in one box, nothing else to source. |
| Already have the magnets and only need the superconductor | YBCO Meissner & Flux Pinning Disk $349 |
The bare YBCO disc on its own — no magnets, no rail. A replacement or an add-on for a setup you already own, not a kit. |
| Not allowed liquid nitrogen — or teaching magnetism itself: forces, levitation, friction | Magnetic Train Science Fair Kit From $69 DIY Maglev Desktop Kit From $69 Want both? Maglev Duo — save 10% $124.20 |
Entry-level, magnets-only levitation kits: no cryogenics at all. Build the track, then experiment with magnets, forces, levitation and friction — the same core physics of stability and force, nothing to cool. |
| A teacher with a class of 24–30 | Classroom Kit From $3,651 |
Built for small-group rotation, with the lesson plan included. |
| A department that wants zero rotation: a multi-station classroom kit (see product for recommended class size) | Ultimate Classroom Kit $5,799 |
Two tracks and eight handheld devices — multiple stations so more students work at once. |
| A university lab that needs real, quantitative data | Superconductivity Experiment Kit From $1,550 |
USB 4-point measurement, so it’s a lab exercise, not only a demonstration. |
| A museum or science centre with a permanent exhibit | Mini Maglev Kit From $1,497 |
Portable, durable enough for repeat public handling, travels well. |
