Hi Ron, Here is the page from Tel Aviv University: http://www.tau.ac.il/~supercon/ It is likely that the white disc is a composite sandwich of materials which is mostly (90%) merely a thermal insulator - possibly a white cloth or foam of some kind holding a 'supply' of LN for an

I have done experiments with flux pinning and 123 superconductor myself. Pick the green projector on page 3 to view. http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/zpt/chapter4.html#Pg3 The rf coils release the flux pinning seen below. The 123 material goes through its transition temp withing seconds from
