The Meissner Effect:

When a superconductor reaches its critical temperature all magnetic fields applied to it are excluded from the interior. words, the go around through it with the Voronoi of the structure levitating above and below the water. The Voronoi cells are pointed down with have a great view. Hexagonal cells are used as panels as it progresses towards the centre, making it seem reflects light in a particular way. floating Structure above the water has peeking glasses with ensuring privacy. below the waters exhibition of aquatic animals with a wide range of amenities locking is the ability of a superconductor to perfectsurrounding it, which allows a Type II superconductor magnetic field.

What is superconductivity ?

Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Superconductivity occurs at a specific material’s critical temperature (Tc). As temperature decreases, a superconducting material’s resistance gradually decreases until it reaches critical temperature. At this point resistance drops off, often to zero, as shown in the graph at right. At higher temperatures are in development, superconductivity is typically possible only with expensive, inefficient cooling processes. buildings

Supercurrents:

When a superconductor at its critical temperature is exposed to a magnetic field currents are induced within it. Thus a floating piece of superconductor will stay in any position it is left in and will follow a magnetic track.
