3. WHAT ISA
SUPERCONDUCTOR?
Superconductivity is a phenomenon of exactly
zero electrical resistance and expulsion of magnetic fields
occurring in certain materials when cooled below a
characteristic critical temperature.

4. 100 billion flux lines
QUANTUM LOCKING
Magnetic flux lines(flux-ons) do not
move and are pinned inside aType-
2 ultra-thin superconductor .

5. WHY QUANTUM LOCKING
?Magnetic Flux is QUANTIZED inside the superconductor
i.e. Magnetic flux enclosed in a superconductor is
integral multiples of fluxons.

7. Coated with Gold for protection
WHAT IS IT MADE OF
?It is made of a ceramic compound YBa2Cu3O7-x .
Tc = 93 K Cooled with liquid N2 .

8. MAGLEV Vs. Q.LEV
 Based on the quantum locking
principle.
 Diamagnetic property of
superconductors are used.
 Only occurs inType-2
superconductors.
 High stability . Multiple
vehicles on the same track at
same time is possible.
 Can lift very high loads.
 Electromagnets required on
the rail only.
 This is based on the repulsive
nature of the magnetic fields.
 Conductive property of the
superconductors are used(Electro-
magnets).
 Type-1 as well asType-2
superconductors may be used.
 Low stability.
 Lift lesser loads in comparison.
 Electromagnets required on both
rails and the train as well.

Power cables Energy storage

10. MRI scanners

11. FUTURE

12. 1. Gravity loophole
As superconductor locks a particle
above and below its surface, it can
be used anywhere to create an
environment without gravity.
2. Frictionless Bearings
A lot of energy is wasted in bearing
friction even though the contact
area is too small .It is because of
the perpendicular force. But in case
of quantum levitation the bearing
remains suspended in mid air.
FUTURE OF QUANTUM LEVITATION

13. 3. Q.lev Trains
Quantum levitating trains are far more
stable and practical . They require lesser
magnetic field to operate and also can
carry heavy loads in comparison.

4. Lossless Electrical Machines
Generally Electrical machines faces a lot of losses
like Hysterisis loss, Eddy current loss, Copper loss ,
Friction & Windage losses .With the help of HTS
power cables copper losses have already been
minimized. But this Q.lev will help us in minimizing
the windage and friction losses. This will also help
in minimizing the leakage flux to zero.
