Levitating Superconductor on a Möbius strip
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- Andy takes a closer look at one of his favourite demos from the 2012 Christmas Lectures, bringing together a levitating superconductor and a bewildering Möbius strip made from over 2,000 magnets.
We'd love it if you helped us translate this video: www.youtube.com...
As his super-conducting boat whizzes along the track, Andy demonstrates the remarkable properties of the superconducting material (Yttrium barium copper oxide) which allows it to seemingly float both above and below the track.

I love the unnecessary safety glasses but no gloves when handling the nitrogen.
Thanks for checking out the video! We had a similar question in the team so asked Andy to explain, and this is his response - ruclips.net/video/kdWrKhVbCLw/видео.html
Yeah, but you do it better, we donr want you to get hurt with those nasty maths
You don't ware gloves while dealing directly liquid nitrogen because it will not actually contact your skin because it will boil off before it does and if you ware gloves it will freeze the gloves then that will freeze your skin, you do when you are handling solid things that have been cooled by it though polistiren or other poor thermal conductors should be ok to handle for short times due to it's poor thermal conductivity.
Which I think the model was polistiren although that paint will have better conductivity probably.
Etheoma Your absolutely right, mate!
why would you love that? seems to me like you're wanting him to get hurt, and spread the knowledge.

orders are for untrained unprofessionals. trained professionals know that when you put your credit cards, watch, cellphone, other electronics, and jewellry into a different room or into an iron box and dont rely on a pacemaker, its completely fine :) but if you put that on a sign, then some people wont read it.
well yeah i understand, it was just a bit... ironic? i guess.
@@PWXKN Exactly
That guy is trying to ruin the joke and look smart, and even if he IS actually explaining it sincerely
Is not like we needed it or anything
But I thank him after all
@Donald Duck He's not cooling a magnet, he's cooling a solid that can be a superconductor under certain conditions.
Stick a little fan to it, and you don't need to push it.
Connect that fan to a remote controller, and you can drive it around.
Connect multiple fans, and make the track fatter, and you have a car that can steer.
Make multiple cars, and you have a race track.
Imagine that: a mobius strip superconductor racetrack. Since you use superconductors, you could make it go ridiculously fast. If that isn't a cool idea for a toy, I don't know what is.
Our hover cars are going to need some really good AC and heated seats.
@Wan Ikmal then someone needs to tell them a superconductor needs to be near -217 C°
We have those kind of cars here in Finland, but they work only in January.
Not to mention the roads of giant magnets we'd need
Something more like a bullet train would be more logical.
why not electromagnets as roads?

1st:super conductors that work on room temperature

1.1 superconducting processors that work on room temperatures. fuck levitating cars, they can wait.. :D
Using carbonnano tubes we could make quasi super conductors. Not really superconductor, but something like 1000 times better than cooper Pair it with a small battery and circuit you could make something that works the same way with out using superconductors.
We can do it today to with copper coils, but the the battery will run out in 2 minutes, with carbon nanotubes it will last for hours.
There is actually toys that work this way.
Levitron World Stage Levitating Globe - www.earthtechproducts.com
The magnet is in the glob insted, and there is a coil doing the same work as the super conductor. A small transistor feed in losed power into the coil to it act the same way as a super conductor.
Also, Transrapid Magnettrain, works the same way, no superconductor. Thow SC-maglev magnettrain in Japan doe use superconductor.
"1st:super conductors that work on room temperature"
Already done. But we don't know how to produce it pure (only a small part of the conductor is the superconductor, giving you a small jump in resistance when going above Tc of that part which is superconducting).
We don't know how to cheaply mass produce it.
The usual problem of high temperature superconductors (all the ones that work with liquid nitrogen cooling) remain. Superconductors can't withstand very strong magnetic fields, or the superconductivity disappears. Type II superconductors form magnetic vortices, that channel the magnetic field in "pillars" of normal non-superconducting material, in a sea of superconducting material; this allows the critical field to be higher before the superconductivity breaks down. For high temperature superconductors this critical magnetic field tends to be too low for most interesting applications, even if it's a type II superconductor.
This is the coolest train set I've ever seen!

We're going to have the coolest fucking Hot Wheels tracks.

Nathan Schubert, and it's going to be 100% secure in terms of a cart leaving the track. If the repelling force is gone, it's going to snap to the surface, if I understand it right.
parahumanoid Good idea, but if it does snap back to the track (in the event of superconductive failure), wouldn't the sudden stop be damaging to the riders? Unless they can make it so it would slowly come down to a rest (I couldn't tell how quickly the magnet in the video came down/slowed down). Then that would be awesome and secure!
*****, it would be a rough halt, but probably not so sudden as to threaten the lives of passengers. While you lose the zero friction, the movement along the plane doesn't go anywhere. Imagine a very heavy metal piece landing on a metal surface while in motion. The gravity is great, but it would still keep going, producing lots of sparks. But then of course, here we don't have the same correlation between inertia and forces of attraction. Can't tell for sure.
I've always wanted to see the super conducting levitation demo IRL (only ever saw photos). This definitely kicks it up several notches! They need to put this in museums!
Magic is real... o.O
Magic is just science that we don't understand!
Brad Sagowitz so true
Thanks for sending me here Jerry, really interesting video!
👍
i'm curious as to if carbon nano tubes would be able to perform a similar function if it carried an electrical charge. carbon nano tubes are so far the best means of electrical transportation that we've discovered at this current time if i'm correct (if not please educate me lol) due to the placement of the carbon atoms so if a cluster of graphene were to hold a electric charge would it be possible for it to levitate via similar methods? (for those that don't know graphene is a single sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal patterns for maximum efficiency and its used as the walls of a carbon nano tube).
great idea to use a Mobius strip.

RUclips: Oh never knew this video existed before, better tell everyone..
Holy mackerel, we hadn't even clocked that. They do periodically feature this video on people's homepages, but we can't spot the pattern. Last time it was in April 2019 and before that in August 2015.
The Royal Institution o god I didn’t expect you to reply me
I can't wait until the streets are lined with super magnets and cars have superconductors instead of tires.
I never understood how SC levitation works until I saw this video. Great explanation! I thought it was some kind of complex quantum thingamabob (it is to some extent) and I never even thought about Induction. Its so simple!
What is up with you ppl with all the negative comments and insults, channels like this are in existence to help spread knowledge and understanding and help expand the minds of those less fortunate, not to waste time belittling each other and making inferrences about others' questionable lineage, if that's your attitude then maybe you yourself aren't as smart as you think.
So to get this straight: Outer space is cold enough to cause super-conduction correct?
We now have German subtitles for this video. Danke unser Liebchen!
i like the Mobi, lots of fan belts are made in this design to extend life expectancy of the material being worn down
The idea of having a superconductor that reaches it's critical temperature at room temperature or higher, could be revolutionary.
You said that the magnet could be lock in place because there is no resistance, but if the resistance is a true 0,0000... Ohm, why can we revome and place the magnet without an infinite force due to infinite Eddy currents ? The magnet is not definitively 'stuck' in place ?
I am wordering for years !
have u found an answer mate?im wondering the same thing. i think its something to do with "flux pinning/qauntum locking" see in the video he "sets" the conductor to constantly float at that height
induced current is limited by the induced emf caused by a change in flux. so a max force it can take is dependant of change in flux. so when that threshold is met it cannot stay put
Correct me if I'm wrong: you are wondering how it is possible to easily move the superconductor (SC) inside a magnetic field while having 0 resistence (R). This because a 0 R conductor (perfect conductor) moved in an external magnetic field would generate infinite eddy currents.
I would takle this from two sides:
First, the 0 R condition (also called perfect conductor) is not sufficient for infinite eddy current as @Jensen is suggesting. With 0 R you actually have persistent current, meaning that a current generated inside the perfect conductor will never cease to exist, but the intensity of this current will never be infinite. You would need an infinite change of flux to induce an infinite current, which you can see is impossible. Otherwise if a finite change in flux would generate an infinite current this would solve the energetic hunger problem.
On the other side the SC is NOT a just magnet, it is way more than that. A SC shows the Meissner effect, namely NO magnetic flux can enter the SC. Similarly to how NO electric field is present inside a conductor (in static condition). And how can this happen? We can think that the SC generates a magnetic field such that the total magnetic field inside itself will be zero. Therefore when you move the SC this will modify the field that is generating and when you leave it the new field configuration will again be such that the internal field is zero. In this way you can see that there happen no change in the magnetic field flux inside the superconductor, because the field inside has always been zero, this implies no eddy currents.
Actually there are also surface effects happening which complicate the picture, but the final result is similar.
I hope that this intuitive picture would help you!!!
@@danieleronchetti1314 Thanks, in fact it's not due to eddy currents so the explanation was misleading. It's due to Meissner effect that is a specific case with 0 resistance.
Awesome work bro👍..thanks for sharing ❤️
Can you push it once and stop fucking touching it for a second? I want to see how far it will go.
Nigel P. IKR?
Nigel P. That's what she said :D
Nigel P.because the magnetic track is not flat, the momentum it starts out with will be loss over the course of going around. kind of like roller coasters.
Obviously. I want to observe that happen but I can't because he keeps touching it before it stops.
qiman wang Nope, the loss of momentum on a flat track would be about the same, because the loss of energy in the case of a rollercoaster is mainly friction with the ground, here, you only have friction with the air, both on a flat track and on this track, and the friction is almost the same.
Not only would it change the world, it would make one hell of an amusement park ride.
The train is moving so smoothly because it has no resistance except air drag which is very low in this case.
It's brilliant. First time I've seen something like this. Just amazed.
3:17 I do think the magnetic field induced should be the south, according to Lenz’s Law, otherwise the created North Pole would attract the South Pole, accelerating the magnet
Exactly
The world's largest mobius strip is a roller coaster called Grand National at Blackpool. You board the train on the right track, and return on the left track, and vice versa.
what do you mean "left track" and "right track?" its all the same track!
***** I said "And vice versa". The station has a right and left.
I like this guys slight lisp, it adds a personal touch to his speech.
Now, I want to see a levitating superconductor on a Klein bottle, is it possible to make that happen?
James A Clouder Exactly what I was thinking! But unfortunately, we couldn't see the magnet when it is on the space that is (sort of) enclosed, so it would really destroy the point. D:
James A Clouder Not possible without 4 spacial dimensions, otherwise you'd have a point where the track intersects with itself
Craig Watkins 33.media.tumblr.com/aebeb686a640493b512c8999881d1fb5/tumblr_njzrzaICmG1s3h43ko1_500.gif

It's 2015. Let's make floating cars.
For this we need ambiant temperature supra conductors. The guy who finds how to make one is the next richest man on earth.
Helvanic its super conductor not supra conductor
I don't know the english term, in french we talk about "supraconductivité" so i assumed it was the same in english.
Skel etor In french (and possibly other latin languages) it's "supraconducteur", hence the mistake.
maxo2097 in German it's "supraleitend"
I love mobius strips
One time I made one so large that I was able to cut it 6 times before it got too thin
This made my day
At 3:21, the diagram shows the eddy currents producing a magnetic field with the North Pole facing up. But if it's the South end of the magnet descending, there should be a South pole generated to resist the motion.
I spotted that too. With the diagram shown it would be possible to accelerate the falling magnet so it would shoot out the bottom end of the tube and fire through his hand!
The marble run for scientists :D
You know what would _really_ change the world? Hoverboards.
John Smith and a bunch of liquid Nitrogen
Yeah, it's a bit unrealistic without millions of magnets under our feet and a really super superconductuctor, but it would at least be a good way to explain hoverboards in science fiction.
Responding from the future. They certainly have changed the world, but they suck.
I did this for a science project and got massive amounts of money. But it does help to have a chemist and physicist helping you.
Hey, do you have any documentation? I'm trying to do this for a school project and it would help me a lot...
Not with me. I either left it at home in my parents house or threw it away. What exactly are you looking for?
I'm interested in the material's list.. And also, more less how much did you expend on it?
The parts list was fairly straight forward. You'll need some material to make your track out of. It could be a number of different things like wood or aluminum. Then you'll need the magnets. There are going to be a lot so don't think it's a bit strange when the tab starts to go up. Then you'll need glue to keep them together and I recommend you have a vice. That'll keep all the magnets in place since you will be forcing the same poles to stick together. And lastly you'll need liquid nitrogen. If you don't have any the best bet is to go to a local school and explain what you're doing. Usually gas companies can be a somewhat skeptical as to why someone is asking for liquid nitrogen. Oh, and whatever you want to ride around the track. I had a hot wheels car laying around under my bed so I drilled a space in that and used it. I think between the superconductor and the magnets, that's what we spent most of our money on. The size of the track (if you choose to use one) will obviously dictate how many magnets you use. My dad is a chemist and physicist for a university so he got most of the the stuff on the school budget and used it later. Mainly the superconductor and the liquid nitrogen. But overall it's probably less than $300. But don't let that number scare you. I did mine and it was pretty huge. We actually had to break it up into separate parts to move it into the school. So yours could cost significantly less.
You gave me the overview I wanted. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
Very informative. The explanation of the currents made perfect sense and I can say I fully understand it now. Thanks!
I've got 2 ideas about this:
First: Can you use this to set up a kind of REALLY long lasting newton's cradle, by just putting a bunch of these on a sloped track (basically a parabolic track where the magnets could move back and forth, pushing each other via magnetic repulsion? If you'd do that in a vacuum, that would mean they would continue on until all the kinetic energy is transferred to heat via induction in the neodymium magnets. I could imagine it'd take REALLY long for that kind of Newton's cradle to stop
And the second: Can't you make something like this with a super strong magnet, with a weaker magnet attached to that, with their poles facing each other? Of course that'd be if you would make sure they are attached really strongly. If you'd put a magnet on top of that, it would be attracted by the strong magnet when far away, but repelled by the weak one when close by. So to illustrate, with lowercase representing weak and uppercase representing strong poles, it would basically be this: (n-s) (s-n N-S). The first magnet wouldn't wanna flip around to face the weak magnet, because it'd then face the wrong way for the strong magnet, but it can't come closer to the weaker magnet because it's repelled by it. I'd imagine there could be a situation where the ratios are exactly right and you could levitate something with that, right?
There exists something called Earnshaw's theorem. It's a mathematical statement that pertains both to electrostatics and magnetostatics, and the gist of it is that you can never make up a distribution of charges or magnets that will allow a test charge/magnetic dipole to remain in stable equilibrium. Your arrangement, for instance, would only work in 1 dimension, like if you put the magnets in a pvc tube. The minute you allow sideways motion it becomes unstable and they all stick together.
This is just so awesome. Physics is just so awesome >w
Hats off to you mann....!
Superb explaination with an superb illustration
So, theoretically, if i had a superconductor, thousands of Buckyballs, and was sponsored by SubZero, i could make this.
Random thought could you redesign one of the cooling magnet holders in such a way that nitrogen shoots out a small hole on one end propelling it forward? It would be cool if it were self propelled down the track!
I'm pretty convinced that a 3D-printed shell (or "boat") could seal the liquid nitrogen and hold the superconductor just well. With this in mind, I'm even looking forward to making one for myself.
Does this model have to be extremely cold in relation to one another or could, theoretically, you put it on Pluto and still have it work
@Sthaman Sinha but....heat is temperature is it not?
The Jokester Squad Heat is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance while temperature is the average kinetic energy. an example i found was that if you have a small cup of water and a bathtub of water at the same temperature, the bathtub would have more heat energy because there are a larger number of particles moving around.
Also temp. is measured in kelvins while heat is in joules
I'm impressed how effective this small container of liquid nitrogen can keep the superconductor enough cold for so long.
Imagine entire roads lined with powerful magnets, your cars are hovercars.
No sci-fi novel, game, or movie has visualised a future like that.
Minority Report
So if you were to cool everything down and put it in space somewhere very cold like behind the moon, it would keep going for a seriously long time !!
Behind the Moon the Sun is shining too. It is called dark side because we cannot see it, however the Sun can and heats it up to about +150 degrees celsius.
But, man, see that dark side of the moon refers to the fact that we cannot see it, as the Moon does not rotate relatively to Earth. However, it does not mean, that sun does not shine there, it does, so in terms of temperature, dark side of the moon is same as the side which we can see.
www.moonconnection.com/moon-same-side.phtml
There is no such side of the Moon where Sun is permanently not shining.
Gravity may not be strong enough on the Moon for this to work.
6 times weaker than here on Earth I think it is not that bad.
Couldn't this technology (refined of course) be used for trains? Or do those super-fast-ones already work like that?
It could be yeah. And the fact that there was is no friction is even better as you can do extremely fast like hundreds if not thousands of MPH. Of course you would have to take into account g-forces.
overTIMe the current trains are maglev, which use alternate magnets to both attract and repel the train, effectively hovering it in the right place, whereas the superconductor resists movement away and towards the magnets holding the charge, again locking it in place. So quite similar, but still different :)
sichosi Thanks for the info. :)
overTIMe You would also have to keep the train at very very cold temperatures. Which is a problem. If you could somehow levitate without needing ridiculously cold temperatures, that would be great for mag lev technology
Smithy0013 to be fair high temp superconductors make it possible to get superconductivity at to "freakin cold" temperatures rather than ridiculously cold temps.
Finally, at 6:00, a simple, succinct explanation of this phenomenon.

In terms of feasibility, how does the energy required to keep the magnets cooled to such an extreme compare to the energy efficiency gained by eliminating track friction?
It's not enough.

Neodymium magnets can get so strong that they're dangerous. These things can shatter your fingers, shred through the palm of your hand
well, if you want it to be scarier, they're so strong that there is a case of someone being stuck to one because of a metal implant and it destroyed the skin between the implant and the magnet.
jared anderson och!
Yeahhhh, I need to make that! :D
i don't exactly know why but this made me so happy.
This is the best explanation I've seen so far on this phenomenon. Really cool!
So that's how it works in Mario Kart 8.
Was anyone else thinking of F-Zero during this video?
Where in this Mobius strip does the magnet pattern change from one polarity to another? Is not possible to align all magnets South Pole inside, North Outside, because there is only one surface. What happens to the train in the changing polarity zone? Does it bumps or something?
9 years later we finally have a breakthrough for the room temperature superconductor.
It's not a breakthrough yet. it still needs to be proven
Inspiration for Mario kart 8 :D
Michaelangelo Parkingman So the Kart wheels are liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors, and there's a ferrous material mixed into the roadbed? That makes a lot more sense than the "hovercraft spinning wheels" thing going on in MK8.
Legoguylol4ever from playing the game myself and seeing the size of the wheels, it does make more sense. Those wheels have to spin hella fast to even generate enough lift for the karts
Michaelangelo Parkinson umm yeah no sony beat you to it with the wipeout series thish is pretty much exactly this
Clearly fake. Watch at 8:32, you can see a white border around the "hovering" boat.
The video is 07:30 long ._.
Faraz Khurshid thatsthejoke.jpg
From Wikipeidia: "The [Earth's magnetic field] ranges between approximately 25,000 and 65,000 nT (0.25-0.65 G). By comparison, a strong refrigerator magnet has a field of about 100 G." So if anything it would have to be smaller.
Also the temperature is more like an on/off switch. The material transitions suddenly from one state to the other. Things don't get more superconducting when they get colder.
It's true - but someone has to capture Andy's struggle.

This is why you may have heard references to a "room-temperature superconductor" eliminating the need for oil: with it, cars and trains could do this and travel large distances at negligible energy cost.
To me the magnet is the super conductor, (able to conduct both positive and negative portions of magnetic waves) the material you are using is a semi conductor (its ability to conduct the positive portion has been frozen out), therefore the magnet is both repelling and attracting the semi conductor resulting in its elevated state. If you draw a line across the top of your round magnet you will see that it spins as you drop it into the copper tube, both the top and bottom are conecting to the tube the magnet is passing its energy into the tube and absorbing it back out of the tube from the opposite side.
Why is nobody screaming HOVERBOARD!!!!

It can be done using magnets and normal conductors but they are stable. Superconductors stabilize themselves so it makes things easier.

Answer : The Royal Institution is a charity based in London UK, dedicated to connecting people with the world of science through events, education, and videos like this. We’ve been around for more than 200 years, have been the home of some of history’s greatest scientists, and aim to make people think more deeply about the wonders and applications of science.There’s quite a lot more to the story, if you’re interested: rigb.org/our-history
+Lamb Leg Haha very good! Made me laugh!
+The Royal Institution You sure did connect me
lost me at "i wanted to show you"
A result entirely unrelated to my search. Welcome to 2021 . The year to ditch the net
Opposite current direction always produce because of net flux change on conductor, we know changing magnetic field produces electric current, but problem arises, why in superconductor current produced without net changing magnetic flux? while cooling of superconductor we noticed magnet placed below the tray, when critical temperature reached s.c. became levitating, nevertheless there is no change in magnetic flux. WHY ??????
I have news
Is it safe for him to handle liquid nitrogen with his bare hands?
Perfectly safe, it would evaporate before it touches him.
It's called the LedenFrost Effect; If you have ever put a drop of water on a hot pan, you'll notice that it'll actually move around on a "cushion" of vapor before completely vaporizing. Here, the liquid nitrogen flows off his hand as his hand is very "hot" compared to it.
as long a its a spill there is no problem if you were to dip your hand in for a longer period then yes it would be bad, the reason you normally put gloves on when handling liquid nitrogen is to protect from intense cold of the flask and other surfaces not the nitrogen itself
iknowsstuff Thank you G-Man.
iknowsstuff Cool. I noticed the nitrogen dripping onto his hand
Can you use the boiling nitrogen to generate thrust?
Can you explain why is the induced current (due to the falling magnet) NOT flowing towards the human body while you are touching the tube?
