A superconductor floating works by using the Meissner effect, which causes the superconductor to repel magnetic fields. This creates a magnetic field that locks the superconductor in place above a magnet, allowing it to float without any friction or resistance.
No, water is not a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance at very low temperatures. Water does not have the properties necessary to exhibit superconductivity.
A superconductor performs best at very low temperatures, typically near absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F). This is when its electrical resistance drops to zero and it exhibits properties such as perfect conductivity and the expulsion of magnetic fields.
Yes, a superconductor is a material that can conduct electricity without any resistance at very low temperatures. This means that once a current is applied, it can flow indefinitely without any loss of energy due to resistance.
No, aluminum foil cannot turn into a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance, whereas aluminum foil is a good conductor of electricity but not a superconductor. Superconductivity requires specific materials and conditions that aluminum foil does not possess.
A superconductor performs best at extremely low temperatures close to absolute zero, around -273 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the material exhibits zero electrical resistance and can conduct electricity with maximum efficiency without any energy loss.
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
American Superconductor was created in 1987.
An ideal superconductor has exactly zero losses, thus resistance is zero.
No, water is not a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance at very low temperatures. Water does not have the properties necessary to exhibit superconductivity.

Superconductors could potentially be used in a very wide variety of areas, their introduction into mainstream technology would have a massive impact. Generally their use is in electronics. The problem is current superconductor materials are required to be very cold to stay superconducting, which makes them difficult to use. But if we had a superconductor able to work at room temperature, you could have a superconductor in your phone- which would make the chip vastly more powerful. This is the ultimate goal of superconductor development. That would just be awesome... unfortunately we're not quite there yet.
yes
Any electrons flowing through a superconductor will show up as a regular electric current.
