I wasn't impressed until I watched the video. Unlike an object that is typically suspended in a magnetic field, the object can be truly be rotated freely or move around freely in the field. It is not stuck in a pole to pole alignment. Definitely the most sci-fi like science I have seen a demo of lately. Edit: Does this have an application in future speaker designs???? Quantom Levitation.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

I was shocked and awed by that, for sure. We should give one of these setups to every soldier.

Science, Alt Levitating superconductor floats within a magnetic field so you don't have to (video) By Amar Toor posted Oct 18th 2011 10:33AM What happens when you douse a superconducting urinal cake with liquid nitrogen? First, how many beers did it take to think it was a good idea to pour liquid nitrogen on the urinal cake, and what exactly was he doing in a bar with liquid nitrogen in the first place?
