Store an electric current in a superconducting toroid.

Explore the physics of this battery of the future. This unique flux-melted YBa₂Cu₃O₇ toroid-based kit stores a persistent electric current and magnetic field with a decay lifetime of 10²³ years! This kit mimics the basic function of the U.S. Navy's advanced Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) device planned for applications in space-based lasers. These storage rings are expected to find use in electric utilities for 'load leveling' and also in medical diagnostics.

*Includes:

• A flux melted YBa₂Cu₃O₇ toroidal superconductor
• Two powerful rare earth magnets
• A YBa₂Cu₃O₇ disk
• A detector needle
• Non-magnetic tweezers
• An experiment guide
