    Superconductor
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a superconductor to complete a levitating train project, with the user seeking information on where to purchase one or suitable alternatives. They have already acquired magnets and tracks and ordered liquid nitrogen but are struggling to find a superconductor. Another participant expresses interest in the project and requests detailed information on the construction, including magnet placement and stability control. The conversation highlights the challenges of sourcing superconductors for educational projects. Assistance and sharing of resources are encouraged to help complete the project successfully.

I have to complete a project in a weeks time but i am missing a vital part to the project.
I am building a model of a levitating train and have all the magnets and tracks ready i also have liquid nitrogen ordered, unfortunately i am unable to find any form of superconductor. Any help is appreciated. please tell me about any stores which may sell superconductors or a substitute which does the same things.
thanx in advance.

Hello,
I want made a project like yours, can u send me detailed information how u made your work (magnet disposition, stability control and so on).
Thank you

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
