 Superconductivity in everyday life : a travelling exhibition
Oxford (UK) - April 2006

This interactive exhibition presents the basics of operation and utilization of superconductive instruments in an understandable way. During the exhibition you can view and test the levitated chess, magnetically levitated train, contactless conveyor, levitator and a number of other applications, such as flywheel with magnetic bearing, fault current limiter, water purifier, etc. The exhibition has already travelled in France, Spain, Hungary and Germany.
