SupraMotion 3.0: Automation modules for motion in suspension

February 27, 2015 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

SupraCycle

Superconductors are materials which below a certain temperature can “freeze” the field of a permanent magnet at a predefined distance and can thus hold it in suspension. The resulting air gap remains stable in any spatial position. By this means, objects can be stored contact-free without any control technology and be moved with minimal expenditure […]
