Superconducting Quantum Levitation on a 3π Möbius Strip

From the Low Temperature Physics Lab:
Quantum levitation on a 3π Möbius strip track! Watch the superconductor levitate above the track and suspend below the track, without having to go across the edge.

Our track is not an "ordinary" Möbius strip with just one twist, but rather a Möbius strip with three twists -- 540 degrees, or 3π radians, thus, a 3π Möbius strip track.

If you have more questions about the physics or how we made the track, see our other videos:

I like how all this time for explanation was spent on how to twist a loop rather than anything at all to do with the physics and objects involved lol

YouTube recommending this vid to Tony 7 years in the future like it usually does

[gagandeepsingh]

Thanks now I'll be able to make a Time Machine for myself

I like how more time is spent explaining what a Möbius loop is than showing the actual QUANTUM LEVITATION.

A perfect counter to an ability that turns you inside out.

Hot wheels are for noobs ...Superconducting Quantum Levitation teabag is the new swag

[Guzeebo]

They next time someone points out that my belt is twisted, I can reply that I'm actually wearing a Mobius strip.

Key learning: Mobius strip is mathematically defined as non orientable surface with one boundary.

[notahotshot]

OMG! A 3π mobius strip? No way. That's awesome!

Oh, and the superconducting quantum levitation is kind of neat too.🤷🏼‍♂️

[uwuaimafemboy]

me: oh nice a video about Superconducting Quantum Levitation
video:here's how to twist paper

[prateexen]

Meanwhile, my earphone cables are doing an ∞π loop.

[yanlisbos]

This should be present as a decoration in every supersmart villain's headquarters.

YouTube: " you've seen endgame, so now you're ready for this"

[MNGLD-dokc]

"Wow, I wonder how quantum levitating works!"
Video: So in order to tape this piece of paper, take a piece of tape...

I still think amusent parks should build Möbius loops in their rides. That'd be so cool.

[bramweinreder]

This is so cool. You can see that while it levitates, the 'cart' is really exerting force on the track.

[Kadag]

build it large and you have a next-gen rollercoaster!

[crsprarchives]

Isn't it funny how Endgame just shown a mobius strip and they're like "hey it's another one of those quantum mumbo jumbos so let's mix it with time travel!"

[raz]

Imagine a rollercoaster running on a Mobius loop track!

My favourite part is when he said “it’s möbin time” and möbed all over the place. Truly the möbin moments of all time
