Energy Storage, can Superconductors be the solution?
In order to demonstrate Superconductor Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is the classroom we can take a Quantum Levitator and induce currents in it. These currents persist as long as it remains cold. We can use a regular compass to verify their existence. Alternatively we can map these currents by measuring the local magnetic field
