Does The Weight Increase When You Levitate a Superconductor on a Scale?

In this video I take your suggestions and questions about type 2 superconductors and do experiments to answer them. First I put the superconductor in a vacuum chamber to see if it will last forever with no air and no friction. Then I see if the weight increases when you levitate a superconductor on a scale.

Nothing touches anything else normally when you place something on the scale. There is no contact normally either. There is mostly empty space with the repulsive forces making it seem like there is anything solid. EM force that acts at a distance is happening to make it seem like there is contact so there really is not much of a difference when you use a superconductor, it is just that the distance between the objects is big enough that we can see it with plain eyes.

[@metamorphicorder]

It's really really expensive and extremely difficult to engineer. You have to have a superconducting surface that's either the length of your train, which has to be then broken into sections for each car or you have to have one single unit with no cars. The length of such a unit has to be shorter then the radius of a circle of which any curve in your track is a section of so that it can follow the track at speed without derailing, and if you have NO at speed contact surfaces between the track and the train, there's a pretty low limit as to how much lateral movement you can allow the train to have or it will simply get thrown off the field that is essentially your track. Basically, you need long straight track with no curves or turns. You also still have to have some sort of traditional track rail surface because you have to have some way to propel the train and stop it as well. You can use magnetic braking and propulsion to be sure. Either in the track or carried on the train. Doing it in the track is stupid expensive if you want performance that makes it attractive to governments so we are talking speeds over 100 mph and getting toward 300 mph to make this price attractive over cheaper but slower options. Each method has its disadvantages. One, building propulsion into the track is ridiculously expensive. Building it into the train requires a huge power source to be on the train, so either huge batteries or a large generator powered either by traditional fuel sources or nuclear power which is defeating the entire purpose of something like mag lev on one hand and really expensive and possibly dangerous on the other hand. Since we dont have mass producible high temperature superconductors yet, where ever you put your superconductors, you need coolant. And you run into other problems with multi car trains because the breaks between cars produce field gaps in either configuration, field gaps lead to instabilities especially under speed. You have to shore up the gaps with some sort of continuous surface of either magnets or superconductors. This CAN be done but its complicated and expensive. Going with a single long car config with a straight track is much better. This is limited in its applications and its attractiveness. It's actually easier to build the auowr conductors into the train especially in the single car case as it's much easier to cool a smaller amount of superconductors than it is an entire track. But then your have to carry the coolant. Liquid nitrogen is expensive and can be dangerous. a mass containment failure in the passenger compartment would be really really bad and in some cases if the nitrogen displaces the oxygen in the car, everyone could die. This could happen slowly like carbon monoxide poisoning. So you end up building a train with extra steps and more risks and expense. So one way you have to use a lot of superconductors or you have to use a lot of magnets. And then there's mass and speed to consider. the effect described in this video wasn't fully explained. The action of a magnetic field in proximity to a superconductor at critical temperature meaning it's currently capable of super conducting will created heat inside the superconductor. It will raise its temperature. This is a complicated subject but several variables effect what happens. Field strength, mass of both the super conductor and total payload, magnetic flux. If these things become too large, the superconductor can stop being a superconductor. This could be really bad. Kinda like if your airplane stops being an airplane. It's a nice idea but it's really complex to implement. Which is why they arent everywhere.

It is probably you that give the dough a shock. It's most likely the clothes you wear that rub off some electrons on you and they jump off when you touch another person, a doorhandle or apparently the dough. Or, if it's a metal table you're working on, it could be the dough rubbing on the table and then zapping you. It's not dangerous, neither for you... or the dough. It's just static electricity. It's just some electrons getting rubbed off, charging one thing and then discharging on something else to equalize.

​@@melchardcaranto4675 I'm sure it gets annoying after a while, so you could try to discharge the dough on something else before you handle it. Like a large metal spoon with a plastic handle. Just tap it and hold it for a second. If you still get a shock after that, it's probably the fabric you wear. A lot of those synthetic sports t-shirts and stuff can charge you up pretty regularly. Wear cotton. There's plenty of stuff you can do to prevent it.

I like, how it went from "yeah, the superconductor affects the scale's reading" to "you've never truly touched anything in your life" Unless (technically), when you've poured some reactive chemicals onto your skin. The chemical reactions with our skin are probably the closest things to a true touch, we'll ever experience. An almost perfect touch would be a nuclear fusion (it's not perfect, because there's still some repulsion in-between the subatomic particles). Maybe it's for the good, since we really don't want to fuse with everything around us.

Hello! Nice experiments. There is one that I wanted to do during my grad, but was not able to. Start slowly and controlling the amount of N2 to cool the superconductor, right to the barrier where it becomes SC. Now if you add a magnet to the system, will it heat and become non SC? (Or you could adding until get the lock and add a magnet or weight). If so, does different magnets (flux) generates different heat? Does different weights produces different heat?

7:13 The way most people understand 'levitation' is that it's a kind of force that keeps something from falling back on the ground and instead stays in a certain amount of distance from the ground unless whatever force is responsible for such phenomena is increased. So it's like an object being lifted off the ground by some invisible force. Like a balloon with an invisible string tied to a pen. Making the pen itself to have zero weight if it was to be placed directly over a scale. In this case, it's a magnetic force that's making an object levitate. Meaning, the one that's lifting the object isn't something like a balloon, but more like a jack or a crane. The weight is just shifted somewhere else, but still has to touch the ground. Hence, the weight doesn't change at all. I've always wanted to find the conclusion of this experiment. But, I couldn't get a hold of some liquid nitrogen. Haha

Hr Gwea the *BUT* the small capacitor in phones which stores energy (as in stores electrons) would still increase it by a factor of (1/1860)n

[@hrgwea]

@AxA12, Electrons moving from one part to another in a circuit don't increase the mass of the circuit. Moreover, the total energy inside the phone decreases as the phone is used. It never increases. The only way for the phone to gain mass is by adding energy to it (by charging it), never by storing information, which is just a change of state.

When doing vacuum tests, it would be useful to have a tank already loaded with vacuum for the purpose of pulling air out quickly before you switch to the pump. Second, the experiment essentially becomes "does temperature still increase in a vacuum?" -- or you could ask "is there any way to prevent temperatures from increasing in a vacuum on Earth?"

[@goodtreeministries3751]

No. Temperature can be transmitted via a vacuum. Think the sun to the earth.

[@willisthehy]

Isn’t that that one law were everything has an equal reaction n stuff 😂

[@kallewirsch2263]

Yes, exactly correct. Gravity is exerting a force on your body and pushing you down. The ground has to bring up exactly the same force in the opposite direction in order for your body not to fall "through" the ground and be able to stand on the ground. If a ground (eg. quick sand) cannot bring up that force, then there the force of gravity cannot be canceled anymore and you start to accelerate to the center of gravity. The law you are referring to is one of the famous "Newton laws". a) F = m * a b) For every action (=force) there is an equal and opposite reaction. Ond could also argue that the conservation principles are a generalizatio of that one. If a body is motionsless or in uniform linear motion AND we know that there is a force acting on that body, then we have to conclude that there must be another force somwhere which counteracts the first force. Because otherwise the sum of those forces would not equal out to 0, and as the first Newton principle tells us, if there is some remaining force that would lead to an acceleration. But an acceleration is a direct contradiction to the observation, that the body is motionless or in uniform linear motion (which both means: unaccelerated). We know a) the body (doesn't matter if it is a superconductor or not) is motionless b) we know, that the force of gravity is acting upon it therefore we know, that there must be a force counteracting the force of gravity.

I'm confused as to why anyone would believe the weight wouldn't increase.

[@Zoltoks]

I wouldn't increase if the the scale was in between the dead air space where it floats. But the superconductor isnt strong enough to do that.

[@hrgwea]

I'm also kind of clueless about this no-question that's in desperate need of no answer. It would be more interesting to ask whether a bird flying inside a house causes the weight of the house to decrease because the bird is no longer touching the house. The answer is still easy to guess, but at least not so absurdly obvious as the magnetic repulsion thing.

[@jerod5636]

Read the comments from the previous video. There was like a 75 long comment argument about it before I gave up. Some of the theories about why it would be weightless were really funny. I hope they see this video.

[@jeanette8943]

I am not as smart as all of you. I was sure it would add weight, but I couldnt explain how. I like learning the hows and whys of things.

[@andrewstoddard6717]

@@hrgwea myth busters tested this. The bird weight does not go away. The reason is the downward thrust of the wings that allows the birds to go up transfers weight.

[@sidkemp4672]

These are really good demonstrations and explanations. I believe, though, that you can step it up and teach experimental science. For the work with the vacuum chamber, two things are needed to turn demonstration to experiment. First of all, measurement. Run a timer and show how long the superconducting lasts. Second, a control. Do the same experiment with the box open, or closed but no pump. Compare the times. The levitation on the scale was closer to an experiment, as you did show the weights as measurement. You could easily have provided a control by putting one regular magnet on the scale then pressing down from above with another opposing regular magnet, so the South-South opposition would increase weight on the scale. In both cases, summarizing with a data table or a graph would have been excellent. Please keep up the good work. I hope you will also begin to demonstrate the difference between demonstrations and genuine experimental science.
