Magnetically levitating trains

The physics department at the Université de Sherbrooke presents its superconducting, magnetically levitating trains. This feat is accomplished using cuprates, a family of materials that superconduct at ambient pressure and at temperatures above that of liquid nitrogen (approximately -180 ºC).

[@preddy09]

True, they are just having fun here. Not practical at all with track full of magnets. SCmaglev is the closest we have already.

[@preddy09]

Japanese Maglev uses almost identical method, except the magnetic track is replaced by electrical conductors

[@mitaskeledzija6269]

Yea but the OG that made this concept was not even credited for Maglev :/ there is an old video on YT u can dig up. The man was a genius!

[@joseluisgiordano1748]

NOOO !!!! You are confusing VERY different physical phenomena. This is a demo kit of ONE OF THE TYPES OF magnetic LEVITATION, which we could call STATIC (here, with permanent magnets and type II superconductors with pinning). NO magnetic train works that way! neither the traditional electromagnetic ones like those of Germany and Japan, nor those that use superconductors, like in Shanghai. Not "static magnetism" is used on real trains, but electromagnetism ("dynamic magnetism" if you prefer to call it that). The majestic and beautiful Faraday's Law is used, which is really a heretical act to mistake for static repulsion. Remember it, please.

I hear that a quantum locked super conductor can hold 70,000 times it's own weight. I wonder if this is the future of lightweight vehicle suspensions therefore increasing energy efficiency. Imagine being able to drive a car off a 12 volt battery because the entire car body and frame is made out of cooled super conductors, making the vehicle super lightweight. Mechanical energy from the engines crankshaft can compress atmospheric nitrogen providing a constant cooling of the super conductors.

[@Nellosphere]

Superconductors usually have to operate at very cold temperatures. The trick is to find a moderately warm superconductive material.

So why can't we have mini maglevs delivering packages and food everywhere? Imagine the efficiency of tube networks transporting goods around.

[@glowingunknown5625]

@TriVos Ahren - That's the first sensible answer I've gotten. ( A few people have told me "it's too expensive", as if that's a valid excuse. If the use efficiency justifies it, there's no reason to worry about cost. ) What is the lifespan of a magnet ? From what I was reading, permanent magnets lose no more than 1% of strength over 100 years. And making the plates easy to replace ; modular ( slide into place ) shouldn't be a problem. They can be re-magnetized and put back into service. It still feels like a suitable replacement to what we have now. Just like cables are an improvement over delivering messages by horse / foot. -- Okay, maybe that's not the best metaphor, since gas vehicles are an improvement over horses too. But it's definitely more streamlined than cars. IMO - cities would be a perfect place to have networks of these tubes. And running along the coastlines between cities. It might not be practical everywhere , but magvac systems seem the most efficient way to move things ; least friction.

[@raghavkamath]

Obviously the most difficult thing to do is to maintain the critical temperature of the superconductor which makes it in turn expensive

[@glowingunknown5625]

@@raghavkamath - In my case, I'm not talking about superconductors, just electromagnetics. SC's are amazing, but probably not necessary to any networks ... well, perhaps they could be a useful transport in a lab or hospital on quick runs (?)

[@alvinilmuwanpemain7204]

@@glowingunknown5625 its because the amount of servicing it needs since the electromagnets requires high amounts of electricity and high stress the metals start to warp and the wires overheat therefore requires a lot to maintain, if you use permanent magnet that also won't work because you need to switch the magnets to attract or repel in order to move

[@StijnDeWitt]

​@@madhulathaaddanki144 "as the object moves is it producing energy?" No, it's actually losing energy to friction with the air. They accelerate the train by simply giving it a push and then as it goes around the track it slowly loses that energy to friction with the air until it finally comes to a halt. "can u please tell me how is the track made" Basically they arrange a whole bunch of (strong) permanent magnets in a grid pattern in the track. If you have access to some superconducting material and can cool it to -200C, you can build this in your garage. It's not hard at all. If you try, be very careful with the liquid nitrogen because it can be dangerous if you spill it.

[@fitofight8540]

Will there be a magnetically levitated submarine?

[@StijnDeWitt]

While it looks cool, this depends on superconduction. And until we actually achieve superconduction at room temperature AND at low pressure (not achieved yet), we actually don't have a way to scale this up at all. The amount of superconductors cooled to -200C we would need to build a full-scale model, and the cost that would involve, is just way too prohibitive. So yeah this is a cool demo, but it's not the first and once you've seen one, you've seen them all. No actual breakthroughs are shown in this video and anyone with access to a bunch of good permanent magnets, a piece of superconducting material and some liquid nitrogen can build this in their garage.

How is it different from maglev train?

[@USherbrookeTV]

Hi! Both trains, maglev and ours, use the magnetic field, but in different ways. The maglev opposes the positive and negative sides of magnets. By cooling a piece of cuprate with liquid nitrogen, our train demonstrates one of the characteristics of superconductivity, which is to repel the magnetic field, which is what allows it to “fly” over the track.
