Superconductivity Demonstration Kits

For educational purposes we prepare following low priced kits for schools. All the kits can be used as aids for teaching physics and other subjects. The kits and demonstration parts are available in our new e-shop.

CSDK 1 – Demonstration kit for Meissner effect

  • basic property of superconductors

 

Small rare earth magnet levitating above high temperature superconductor YBaCuO disk cooled by liquid nitrogen.

CSDK 2 – Demonstration kit of strong levitation force

  • example of applicable superconductivity – demonstration of simple magnetic bearing
  • kit also includes aids for Meissner effect demonstration

 

Easy handling superconducting magnetic top of 0.1 kg levitating and flying above high temperature superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen demonstrates strong forces between NdFeB permanent magnet and superconducting YBaCuO levitator.

Other demonstration parts

  • parts made of BiPbSrCaCuO superconductor (critical temperature 110 K)
  • critical temperature: TC(midpoint)=110 K, TC(zero res.)=108 K


CSB-2/3/20 – superconducting bar with silver layer on both ends for an easy soldering the current and voltage leads (thickness 2 mm, width 3 mm, length 20 mm) – suitable as a sample for measuring the critical temperature, recommended measuring current up to 60 mA. Optional use: measurement of current – voltage characteristics under external magnetic field.

CST-10/10.2 – superconducting ring (ID 10 mm, length 10 mm, wall thickness 1.0 mm)

CST-15/15.2 – superconducting ring (ID 15 mm, length 15 mm, wall thickness 1.5 mm)

The rings are suitable as samples for measuring shielding properties of superconductors and as superconducting parts of current limiters.
