The Nazis had harnessed this in WW2 but due to continous bombing raids and their borders being shut down on either side they hadn't the logistics to put it into any kind of useful feature.

Willay posted something similar the other day. cool as fuck.

not really flying car tech though as you need a magnet base, which is too costly so will never happen.

Don't think anyone was suggesting it was, although what is new is the superconductor the Israel students are using instead of the usual yttrium barium copper oxide.

Another good video here though - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4XEQVnIFmQ

You also need to keep the superconductor stupidly cold ie: 80 kelvin

Because the more people read into it the more people question why the fuck this hasn't been developed into more practical uses since its been around nearly 70 years.

Repost mate, it was on hacker news about a week ago and on reddit about 3 days ago. CS is quite behind the curve.

Can't wait for this technology to somehow make engines more efficient.

Quantum Levitation bearings would be awesome too...
