  • In this video I show you what it looks like to drop a giant neodymium magnet on a chunk of aluminum. I talk about magnetic braking and Eddy currents and how they work, then I show you what it looks like with type II superconductor.

    The superconducting puck keeping its orientation is not purely because it's type II. When you rotate the magnet away, it'll indeed "try" to stay in the same orientation due to the flux pinning / quantum locking, but the eddy currents (which are fundamentally different than flux pinning) also does it. It should be mentioned also that this experiment as you conducted it is only possible because it is a type II superconductor. A type I superconductor will stop superconducting at fields of the range of 100 miliTesla at the max, which this magnet far exceeds. And of course also because type I superconductors need to be in the single-digit Kelvin range, which is almost impossible to sustain in a normal environment XD.

    Some trains also use eddy current braking.
    The German ICE-3 series of high speed trains e.g. uses 3 operational braking systems in this order of precedence and depending on the amount of deceleration required:
    1. Regenerative braking where the electric motors work as generators and feed electricity back into the grid.
    2. Linear eddy current braking.
    3. Pneumatic braking - plain old disc (i.e. friction) braking with pneumatic actuators
    Eddy current brakes in principle do not suffer from wear, though, to be honest, there were some issues with clearance (the electromagnet needs to be located very close to the rail) and concerns that induced currents may negatively affect electrical systems on the track, e.g. for signaling.

    It's interesting to note (correct me if I'm wrong) that the superconductor sprays condensation every time it is being forced to crossover to the opposite magnetic pole. In my experiments, using a spinning aluminum disc mounted on a motor, the motor would be significantly loaded down as a magnet is introduced near the spinning edge of the disc. The disc itself heats up. I believe the spraying of condensation off the puck when it is forced to flip over is in part because of its rotation in the surrounding still air; but is it also possible that heat is generated as a result, causing more condensation? It literally looks like it is spraying condensation like a volcano, just from the pinned surface as it is forced to flip over. Thoughts?
