| 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 |
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 Set From $3,651 |
Six kits bundled for small-group rotation, with the lesson plan included. |
| A department that wants zero rotation, thirty students at once | Ultimate Classroom Kit $5,799 |
Two tracks and eight handheld devices — built specifically for that number. |
| 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. |
Questions
Still not sure?
If you are weighing our kits against other superconductor and maglev kits on the market, this comparison of what each price band actually includes lays it out category by category.
My situation doesn’t match any row above.
Tell us the age group, the room, and the budget through institutional orders, and we’ll recommend rather than upsell — including when the answer is a cheaper kit than the one you were looking at.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Yes. Most classrooms and labs start with an Science Fair kit or two and add capacity as budget allows. The physics is identical across the range; what changes is duration, durability and how many hands can use it at once.
Ready to see the full range?
Thirty-two kits, filterable by audience, cryogenics and budget.
Building it for a science fair? the hoverboard science fair project guide covers the build, which variable to measure and what judges are actually marking.
