joke_slayer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 one of my friends showed me this video and thought it was too cool to not share (explanation http://www.quantumlevitation.com/levitation/The_physics.html ) I skimmed through the science bit, and it doesn't seem too complicated and since then I've basically been trying to think of all the potentials applications for this...... (if only we could find superconductors that work close to room temperature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocefisso Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You should probably have posted this in the links/videos thread. It doesn't really warrant a full discussion.

D. V. Devnull Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Pardon the pun, but that's some cool stuff! :D Now if only they could do away with the track, and just have it hover over literally anything... You know, like dirt, grass, sidewalk, marble, wood, etc. ... The possibilities are endless! Can you imagine something like that hoverboard from "Back To The Future"? I can! :idea: ~D. V.

The_Gabe Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Haha gotta love the Hebrew accent while speaking English. Good job to Tel-Aviv University on this quantum levitation project.

i_love_burritos Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 this, is really [bleep]ing cool. How long til I get my hoverboard? we've had force shields for along time (it's a technicality though hahar.) in fact most of our technology is based on conductor / nature of particlewave physics. and to sees; once we find a room temperature superconductor (no law of nature restricts this, as far as I'm aware), amazing things are possible.

Sbrideau Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Actually they're also working on making superconductors still superconduct at room temperature, not just find one that's a superconductor at room temperature, and I read somewhere that they are achieving better temperatures as time goes by.
