Superconductor Levitation


Recommended Posts

The superconductor you bought is likely Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide , YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7), popularly known as YBCO. These are cheap and have a Tc of about 90K.

 

I can't find a disk for less than $40.00. Can you direct me somewhere. Also, I found this add for a class on high temp sc.

One of the items on the sylabus is "how to make a simple sc from scratch using readily available materials." I would really like to do that. Does anyone here know how to make ybco or some sc from scratch, even if it costs a little more?
