Meissner effect and future application to the hoverboard -- Ideas?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a project involving magnetic levitation for a hoverboard based on the Meissner effect and superconductivity. Key considerations include surface and board materials, maximum load, hovering height, and the operational duration of the superconductor before overheating. The project faces challenges in obtaining proprietary information from existing hoverboard developers. There is a debate about the necessity of incorporating probability into the project, with some participants questioning its relevance to the exact calculations of the Meissner effect. The conversation emphasizes the need for optimization and anticipating unexpected challenges during the project's execution.

I'm working on a project of magnetic levitation of the lexus hoverboard
Which is based on Meissner effect and suprconductivity and I have to look for contraint, probability, choice, and optimization in this project, i really find a little bit tough where to start this, so if anyone have any idea could help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Did you check how they did it? That should directly lead to some questions about the surface material, the board material, the maximal load, the hovering height, how long it runs before the superconductor gets too warm, and similar things.
 
Yes i wanted to get some information from them but they said thise ingormation are not for public. However, My plan now is to compare supraconductors materiaks to choise the bedt if them, search how they the magetic floor under the hoverboard, etc , But my problem is that i didn't where to put probability, because as you know Meissner magnetic field is an exact calculation.
 
Why do you want to "put probability" anywhere?
 
As i said in my project i have to talk about many things, and one of them is probability and the unexcpectable in your project that's mean for example what could be unexpected during the experience or in real time so we can avoid it and try to get to optimization
 
I don't understand your post.

Who says that you have to include probabilities of what, where? If you didn't set that as goal yourself, what exactly was the phrasing of the problem statement?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
