  • In this video I use a type II superconductor to perform a quantum locking demonstration using YCBO (Yttrium barium copper oxide). I then explain in depth how superconductors and quantum locking (Flux pinning) works.

      Put it in your vacuum chamber and isolate it from sun rays to prevent the superconductor from cooling down to see for how long it will spin

      Can you tell us which material is this?
      I have read this in my book it said super conduction drop as the material's temperature changes even a bit from the critical temperature if it's true then how is this levitation possible please reply?

    I spent the better part of my childhood attempting to make magnetic levitation . and the closest I got was 2 neodymium rings on a pencil. turns out all I needed was a type 2 superconductor and some liquid nitrogen. what I would've given to have this guy as a science teacher as a kid. fascinating stuff man!!! thank you for this, I genuinely feel a small part of me was never going to be satisfied until I could see it happen.

      Wooden boards are mostly just a bunch of tangled complex carbohydrates holding some arbitrary amount of water...
      It therefore can be argued that, by definition, bread is a form of squishy, man-made wood, and the fact that a slice of bread is a cut section of the greater whole means that a slice of bread could be defined as a board.

    I'm guessing the superconductor was re-cooled a few times during this demonstration. That's the downside to superconductors - they need to be kept cold or the superconductivity goes away. IF they could come up with a room temperature superconductor made of inexpensive and commonly found materials, all our lives would become different. Power sources, electronics, communication, transportation and more would all change drastically.

      I caught this. And yes, it is all relative. While watching, I was vaguely thinking about how this worked at the much larger scale of the quantum locking demonstrated in the video. That wasn't just a few nanometers. The effect on the whole object was happening at several centimeters, to be sure. I didn't really quite grasp how the electron couplets related to the effect at such distance. Maybe I just didn't get where each electron of the couplet "lived". Surely one is not in the magnet and the other in the superconductor. There is certainly more to be "grokked" here...

    Is this theoretical perpetual motion? Or do the magnets have some kind of "magnetic friction" that will make it eventually slow and stop?

    I have a question. You lifted the locked magnet and it picked up the puck which was locked to the magnet. If the magnet weighed x grams and the puck weight y grams, is the weight of lifting the magnet with the locked puck x+y or is it x? Does the weight become the entire set of locked things?

      A glove + liquid nitrogen... is not a good idea.
      A cold puck + glove...is a good idea.
      Here's a guy dipping his hand into liquid nitrogen. ruclips.net/video/KRUN2vzVpa8/видео.html
      Small amounts of Liquid nitrogen will roll off your skin harmlessly due to the Leidenfrost effect.
      But it will stick to clothing more easily (e.g. a glove), freeze it and then the clothing freezes your skin.
      It's probably safest to be completely naked when dealing with liquid nitrogen😅 (to a point).

  • @darrenbarker4493
    @darrenbarker4493 Год назад

    Quick question, if you made the gap between the neodymium magnets oscillate from slightly bigger to slightly smaller just behind the superconducting material would this accelerate the puk automatically and if so what sort of speed do you think it would reach? It might have no friction but it would still have to contend with air resistant.... unless we put it in a vacuum.... would it ever stop if we did this in the cold vacuum of space.

      I always feel I skipped a degree or two when I try to learn quantum physics. Its like trying to understand how a place flies when you don't even know what a force is. When you understand something you often "see" its relation to other things you already know; quantum stuff its like the rules from a totally different universe.
