Oct 12, 2008 - Can you tell me where to get that stuff to make the experiment myself?

Oct 12, 2008 - isnt tht fake? lol science is weird... like weird al... :D

Oct 12, 2008 - the liquid stuff is liquid hydrogen i think.

Tomar17 Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - liquid stuff is liquid air, or liquid nitrogen, cools the metal so it becomes a superconductor

Oct 12, 2008 - usc science kids having fun. ha.

Oct 12, 2008 - I once did a similar thing with a rice crispie. ...but then I ate it... :(

Oct 12, 2008 - Ah lovely liquid nitrogen boiling at -196 °C supercooling the metal making it become a superconductor thus repelling the magnet.Classic.And being black I say that was very Black and nerdy.Silly Americans

Oct 12, 2008 - ahhh, wikipedia.Do you remember when the internet was only a few small tubes?Pepperridge Farm remembers

Oct 12, 2008 - Why was it "flipping" over and over again... Am I seeing the breakdown of the work function in magnetics? What if this setup were in space, and the magnet could create kenetic energy that could be used for a power source? Perpetuel motion? Strange...

WORLDREIGN Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - Wrap it up in copper and make a light bulb light up... That would be interesting...

Oct 12, 2008 - is that cold or hot or dried ice?

IcePhoenix2 Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - it's a liquid of a gas at a very low temperature, used to cool the compound down to reach a superconductor state

politiclyinsane Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - whats the point of using that liquid stuff. itl run out soon but if you use pyrolytic graphite it will float for ever

wootwootdudeo Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - magnets work better when cold.

Oct 12, 2008 - Huh. weired. so what can be done with this technology? any sugestions
