Greetings Vortex, I haven t had a chance look for the superconductor material used in the levitation video, but it seems like this is not the usual "flux pinning" as experienced by 1-2-3 SC materials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_pinning
Ron Kita, Chiralex Few people realize that when one spins a symmetical magnet as a ring magnet- the flux lines remain stationary in space. This is the principle of the One Piece Farady Homopolar Generator.
