May 14, 2008 - what do you mean we cannot buy a nuclear bomb from walmart!? that's umpossible!

May 14, 2008 - Schönes Model und gut aufgenommen!janokNice model and great video!

May 14, 2008 - Welcome to the future, the old technology are looking the future.
Jhazmon Says:
May 14, 2008 - AWE-SOME!!! This is one of the coolest things I've learned in a little while!! I want one ^_^
zencrash Says:
May 14, 2008 - floating vehicles will become a reality when chemists learn how to create a room temperature superconductor, because constant cooling is impractical.
groundstrike Says:
May 14, 2008 - you need to increase the temperature. may be light a cigarete and put the train on fire. lol.
bccritters Says:
May 14, 2008 - they have not figured out yet that magnets are not the only thing that superconductors can be "tuned" to.
aerowenn Says:
May 14, 2008 - Chemists? Yea they play a big part, but us physicists have the major role in this :) magnetic fields and so on, as far as I know there is no room temp superconductors yet, I hope there are someday though. I want a floating recliner ;)
marialuisa8 Says:
May 14, 2008 - Ohh my, that's cool. I wonder, what materials (besides nitrogen) are needed to do this model?
PeregrinusFalco Says:
May 14, 2008 - It would be neat if for the purposes of that model the nitrogen vapor expelled from the train went through a little nozzle to propel it, and if the train were made of foam so it would stay cold longer.

May 14, 2008 - @ 4:00! Way too cool!!!
fd71 Says:
May 14, 2008 - what is the superconductor called and what type of magnets are they
strangekwark Says:
May 14, 2008 - In all likelyhood it is YBCO (Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) with neodinium magnets, at least most model trains I know have that. Maybe it is BISCO (Bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide) but I doubt it.

May 14, 2008 - So basically what you are saying is that when hell freezes over, I can ride a magnet train like yours for free?
GLOCKY10 Says:
May 14, 2008 - you will need a super heater in the other train cars
joshuare94 Says:
May 14, 2008 - thats quite amazinghopefully they'll make a full scale one
lethallankan Says:
May 14, 2008 - so where do you get liquid nitrogen and where do u get a super conductor

May 14, 2008 - Duuude! That's sick!
98snakeeater Says:
May 14, 2008 - That's AWESOME!!I wanna skateboard that can do that...Wait, they did that already...
sureshotfunk Says:
May 14, 2008 - Awesome, I'll just go down to my local hobby shop and pick up some liquid nitrogen.
imsabbel Says:
May 14, 2008 - Superconductors like this you can get on ebay from time to time.Liquid nitrogen is commonly available. Just look in the yellow pages or google it.Its about $1 per liter, and a larger dewar can keep it from heating up and evaporating for quite a few days.
ianonline Says:
May 14, 2008 - I doubt this will be in Britain because British train companies will use the following excuses for their constant lateness for as long as possible:Leaves on the line.The wrong kind of snow.
stephan2858 Says:
May 14, 2008 - I came up with this idea!
dtrainsss Says:
May 14, 2008 - What happens when the train has to make a emergency stop due to loss of power or somthing larg on the tracks.
