Shamus Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 I got the idea that you could theoretically have the best suspension on any vehicle in the world if you could have the vehicle body hover above the wheels. This would also enable the use of omni-directional "ball" wheels that would not be restricted to an axle. My question is, assuming we were able to have an on-board cooling system that kept the bottom of the vehicle at approximately the -300 degree superconductivity threshold, would it be feasible to create this mechanism, or any variation thereof remotely resembling the aforementioned design, via the use of quantum locking, and, if not, is there perhaps another technology that could achieve the same goals?
swansont Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 I'm going to assume "quantum locking" is a pop-sci description of something with a more technical and probably accurate name. <pause to google> Ah, yes, flux pinning. How will something rotate (be omnidirectional) if system is "locked" into place? You can see here that it won't work in 3 dimensions
Shamus Posted April 12, 2022 Author Posted April 12, 2022 Oh alright thanks. I had a feeling it wouldn't work like that. Do you know of any other technologies that might work to create this effect?
Shamus Posted April 14, 2022 Author Posted April 14, 2022 Yeah I suppose magnetic levitation could work.
