The Daily Fix: Superconducting Levitation

This is a neat video that explores how superconductor technology can be used in conjunction with the Meisner effect and a simple magnet to create actual levitation and suspension. To be honest, I don't fully understand the science behind it, but the relative simplicity of the concept is interesting and could very obviously yield results that include actual hover cars, levitating trains and more. Enjoy the video!
