Description: Page illustrating simple experiment to show concept. Application for kit being sold at site. Uses superconducting toroid in a cup of liquid nitrogen with a compass to show magnetic field.
Fifth Experiment: Superconducting Energy Storage Ring is simple to understand.The fundamental property of superconductors is its complete lack of resistance to electrical current. This property can be exploited by using a ring (toroid) of superconductor material to store electrical power. Once the current is induced in the toroidal, its lack of resistance allows the induced current to flow forever. These permanent currents in a superconductor are called persistent currents. The current also produces a magnetic field around the superconductor, creating a powerful electromagnet.
