Movie that reproduced anti gravity race with "Quantum Levitation"

So-called"Type 2 superconductor"ButMeissner effect,Pinning effectCombining the phenomenon of being stationary due to it is a tremendous experimental movie that makes things like anti-gravity racing game "WipeOut" possible. Not only is it floating simply, it does not fall even if it comes to a vertical cubic curve, so it is important to note that it is progressing at a steady speed.

Experiment with a mysterious organization "JIST", in a movie a mosaic has been applied to a chest badge etc. It seems that it is a research institution of somewhere university or something, is it a copyright reason or what? The identity is being turned down.


This is the field description of the race


Running is


It seems that it is almost like that


Liquid nitrogen tank appearance


I will chill.


This is the race track


Stop / move freely by controller


Start the race


Even with such a vertical curve, it will proceed without difficulty, this is amazing


Even with such irregularities, it will proceed steadily


This mechanism is explained as "superconductivity" as follows "It is caused by the quantum mechanical effect" and therefore it is called "quantum levitation (quantum levitation)".

Superconductivity - Wikipedia

In addition to the electric resistance becoming zero for the superconductor, the Meissner effect which eliminates the magnetic lines of force from inside the substance causes the "magnetic levitation" phenomenon. At this time, it is classified into Type I superconductors (Type I superconductors) and Type II superconductors (Type II superconductors) due to the difference in response to the strength of the magnetic field lines. In Type 2 superconductors, the Meissner effect occurs with respect to high strength magnetic force by partially allowing internal penetration of magnetic field lines. In Type 2 superconductors, zero resistance is maintained due to the pinning effect.

Both of these phenomena are thought to be caused by quantum mechanical effects, and the basic mechanism is explained by BCS theory. It is a phenomenon occurring only at low temperature which is not treated in daily life, and because it requires expensive liquid helium for its cooling, its use in society was limited to special applications. Since the end of the 20th century finally high temperature superconductors which can be cooled with inexpensive liquid nitrogen with a relatively high maximum temperature (transition temperature) were discovered one after another, cognition to the general has progressed considerably. In the future, it is expected to discover practical superconductors functioning in general low temperature environment and room temperature.

In addition to this, the experimental movie of "quantum levitation (Quantum Levitation)" is published on YouTube, and it is quite interesting content.

The movie "WipeOut", which was the original idea of ​​this experimental movie, looks at the movie "Indeed, if it is on an extension of this experiment surely, such a game might actually be possible You can see that.
