== Demonstration == *''Note: this demonstration is performed the same way for a hands-on event or a stage show. For a stage performance, you will want to include a desktop camera & projector to make it more visible to the audience.'' # Set the Superconductor in the petri dish. Put on the safety glasses and cryogen gloves, and pour liquid nitrogen into the petri dish, slowly adding more in until it stops rapidly boiling out. # Pick up the magnet using the tweezers, and carefully place it above the superconductor. It will float in the air above the superconductor! You can show that the magnet can be re-positioned at different angles and stays suspended, so long as the superconductor is cold enough! # Mention that superconductors can conduct large amounts of electricity with very little resistance. Show the copper wire next to the superconducting wire, and explain how they are comparable to the superconductor in your petri dish!
