Superconductivity Demonstration Kits and Parts
We have prepared 2 simple kits that can be used as aids for teaching physics and other subjects. Students can discover basic properties of superconductors - Meissner Effect and levitation and suspension. All you need is liquid nitrogen. Other demonstration parts can be used for measurements of critical temperatures, shielding properties of superconductors, etc. You can also use our superconductors to build your own levitation train model.

CSDK2 - Demonstration of strong levitation / magnetic bearing / flywheel
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 levitation disk. This kit also includes parts for Meissner Effect demonstration

CSB-2/3/20 - Bi-2223 Bar
Superconducting Bi-2223 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 & CST-15/15.2 - Bi-2223 Rings
Superconducting Bi-2223 rings (ID 10 mm, length 10 mm, wall thickness 1.0 mm and 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. |
