Watch this superconductor hover around in mid-air!

So today, instead of floating a magnet on top of a superconductor, I'm going to show what happens if I do it the other way around. For this one, I'm using a much bigger superconductor, and I'm again, cooling it with some liquid nitrogen. Now that it's super cold, I can drop it onto a little magnet track that I made. It actually stays on the track, and if I push it, it's able to move without falling off.
