I can't help you here but you could try doing this as an experiment, recording what happens, annalysing the data and so you get your own answer!

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?
