There's something different going on there. A maglev train is floated on north against north or south against south (or lifted from above from N against S). That thing is floating in the area between the north and south poles of the magnet if I understood it correctly.

A "Superconductor" has no (very very very little) resistance in it, so essentially it can hold current forever...The looping current creates an electromagnetic field in between it, that pushes against the field produced by the magnet, causing it to "float"

Super conductors are very rare, and right now few materials can be "superconductive", and even the ones that can have to be cooled with liquid nitrogen to a very low temperature.

I'm pretty sure JLV knows what a superconductor is. I'd almost hazard a guess that he would probably know more about it than any of us, as he seems pretty knowledgable when it comes to all fields of physics. He was just pointing out the difference in the magnetic arrangement of the maglev system vs the one showed in that video.

When I said "thats how the MagLev trains work", I really meant that they operate on the use of superconductors, not the way the magnets are arranged.

But yeah, superconductors are awesome. Hopefully we can one day we can get ones that run at room temperature.

Not a bad pic, lol.

That take out was gold.

Ohhhhhhhh, I missed the part where MagLev trains work with superconductors. ALSO I didn't watch the entire video and just assumed it was the old superconductor levitating magnet trick...but just saw the second part of it, and now I get the connection to the MagLev train.

Indeed, quantum computers anyone? \m/
I'm not greedy, I'll settle for one with 100 qubits.

Pretty sure everyone in the stands who knows anything about moto was waiting for that. One of Friese's friends (prolly his best friend assuming he doesn't have many) was watching the race with me and even he couldn't make an excuse as to why that shouldn't have happened.

I would absolutely hate to race the guy; and I've been known to be really aggressive, but damn as a fan watching the whole field try to clean him out is pretty damn entertaining. Everytime I see him on the gate, I am pumped and watch no other guy on the track because I know the action will follow the #45 pin ball.

Actually, while I know what superconductors are, it didn't occur to me that they would levitate over a magnetic field purely from inductive current. I always assumed they were putting a current in a coil of superconductive wire in those floating magnet experiments. But I see how it would naturally work with no outside current. Only thing is, since there is no corrective force (i.e. it's seeking 0 velocity rather than any particular position), a train levitated that way would gradually sink wouldn't it?

I was wrong about the arrangement of the magnets too. When they show the lines representing the magnetic field it's clearly poles up.

Hopefully, in 6 days, i will find out the greatest news of meh life! Nervous though.

Just got released to ride again after breaking my collar bone in two places. Took three and a half months to heals this bad boy.

I guess that's what happens when you're too scared to bail


These were taken right after it happened.

Friend: "I feel bad bc I just punished my toilet."

Me: "Slap a hoe. Who wears the pants in this relationship? She'll take your shit whether she likes it or not!"

YouTube just invited me to put ads on my videos. Guess who is downloading Song Vegas?

They did it to everyone didn't they? And then they have to be accepted by AdSense...

Partnership? You don't even post anything?
