14. Quantum Levitation to Bridge the Gap Between Hovercraft, Now Identified Flying Objects, & Public Transportation

It’s 2022 and you need to take your wheels (car) out for a spin, but you haven’t got enough money for fuel……….  Fuel?  Hang on, its 2022, wheels and fuel isn't needed anymore. While this sounds incredulous, this idea has risen from Boaz Almog’s levitation demonstration, showing a sapphire crystal disc coated with a superconductor, cooled in liquid nitrogen, hovering above a magnetic base.  Witness it for yourself.

 Its benefits and its impact on the market
This demonstration highlights the revolutionary change to fuel-less transportation that is economical, ecologically friendly, and sustainable.  Imagine buses, trains, cars, bikes powered by liquid nitrogen and magnetic lines that resemble tramcar transportation.  Or wheelchairs as hover craft. The list could go on. The most striking attribute observed was the fact that when the  levitated disk was pushed, causing it to speed at a very fast rate, remarkably, the quantum levitated disk never lost its momentum and speed.  Imagine a train, car, or motorbike travelling at the speed of a bullet.  Phenomenal. 

Possible competition in levitation
Japan's Maglev trains function on the magnetic principle of reduced/zero friction that increases the potential velocity http://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipment/maglev-train.htm

“In October 2011, Boaz Almog demonstrated how a superconducting disk can be trapped in a surrounding magnetic field to levitate above it, a phenomenon called “quantum levitation” …. By using exceptional superconductors cooled in liquid nitrogen, Almog and his colleague Mishael Azoulay at the superconductivity group at Tel Aviv University (lead by Prof. Guy Deutscher) were able to demonstrate a quantum effect that, although well known to physicists worldwide, had never been seen and demonstrated in such a compelling way.” (retrieved July 12, 2012 from http://www.ted.com/speakers/boaz_almog.html). 
Some interesting comments on Youtube are highlighted below:

  • Who's to say that the device or machine you build runs on a track and roller type system i.e. the tracks are magnetic, and the rollers the superconducting disc. As long as the tracks are rotating around, then it keeps the discs happy and powered.Corlene Greenwood 15 minutes ago, October 9, 2012. 
  • ok, it is frictionless, except for the air... so why not do this: put it into a "box" without air, and then set it to run in a loop constantally. if it can go with 0 resistance, hook it up to generage electricity.. this electricity could then power a liquid nitrogen generator... free energy? no, quantum energy conversion... Andrew Grady 4 days ago.October 5, 2012.
  • It would actually ya. But you wont be able to use your cellphone wherever the transport is (lets say you make superconductive cars on magnetic streets) Your technology would malfunction. And people with pacemakers, or anything like that (metallic limbs or w.e) would be stuck to the street.However, this may be useful in space, or possibly in the sky, or better used to enhance technology, in essence maybe even make a permanent battery of some sort. but i dont have the physics to back that up. JusticeRetroHunter in reply to bloodrocker2 (Show the comment) 5 days ago,October 4, 2012.
  • But this levitation thing requires magnet rails and a lot of liquid nitrogen. I think electrotrains are more   efficient, considering they in Japan already are using magnite-levitating friction-less trains .alexgrinkov in reply to AkioGamerGS (Show the comment) 1 month ago, August9, 2012.

·       Moreover, what if we were to use quantum locking to create weightless storage containers inside aircraft, sea vessels, trucks, cars etc.?  Or have weightless seats inside passenger carrying vehicles and aircraft?
