Superconductive levitator
You can experience levitation with the the superconductive levitator. It serves as the basis for levitated trains, magnetic bearings, flywheels and mover equipments.
The levitated magnetic disc weighs 50 kilos and is capable of levitating
a 200 kilo weight with no feeding source.
Levitated chess
Superconductive levitation keeps levitated objects in a stable position, for example chess pieces above the chessboard.
There is a puzzle at the end of the game: how to checkmate in one move?
Superconductivity can help!
Magnetic train
Superconductive train stays in stable levitation above the magnetic tracks. It keeps its stability without controlling electronics, moving needs only minimal energy. Trains levitated by superconductors will enable us to use high speed transport, even at 500 km/h.
The model train can move without an engine, can be stopped or started
on the grounds of magnetic principles, can cross water, road, treetrunks,
is not even bothered by a loss of magnetic tracks.
Energy storing flywheel
Superconductive flywheel stores electric energy in rotation energy and allows for the constant and steady flow of energy. Compact energy storing flywheels can ensure constant supply of energy for businesses and residents alike. Lamps and computers would not switch off in case of a storm or other unexpected troubles.
The flywheel displayed in the exhibition weighs 2 kilos and has 6000
per minute velocity of rotation. It looks as though it is stationary
in the air although it can continue rotation for hours with no perceptible
slowing.
Contactless conveyor
The stable magnetic levitation of the superconductor-magnet pair can be used to construct high purity conveyor belts. In high tech manufacturing processes or sterile environments high purity is necessary. When only the levitating part of the conveyor belt is found in a high purity place transportation will not cause pollution.
You can see in 2D as the model conveyor belt moves a test-piece in the
making in the whole area of a model chip factory.
Magnetic separator
Superconductors act as very strong magnets, their magnetic field can exceed 15 times that of the traditional magnets. This strong magnetic field can separate impurities in air and liquid, even bend water.
How powerful can the magnetic field be!
Superconductive current limiter
Current limiters do not break electric current as fuses and circuit-breakers do, but confine it. In case of a trouble these will not let electricity to exceed secure level, and are able to work continuously, with no energy cut for the user.
Won't lights go out in Buda or Pest districts in case of a lightning?
Naturally, where we apply a current limiter!
...and there is a surprise waiting for you at the end of the exhibition...
Try it all yourself !
