It has been a busy time. On one hand; I have been preparing more pellets of my superconductor: two grams at a time. As I previously explained, it takes three to four days the synthesis. Meanwhile, I was able to test the magnetic field using the Magnetic Property Measurement System SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) magnetometer, or Roger Taylor; as it was christened in the lab.

        On the other hand, I made a prototype of a Möbius track for my demo. However, it didn’t work; the Neodymium magnets need to be N-52; and I only have N-42 (It means the puling force rating, and of course the price tag too). So, I modified my design for an oval track.

      Another learning experience this week was the protocol for making an oval steel track at Rice. I meet Eli at the Rice’s metal shop; it resembles a lot my father’s shop when I was a child. He was very helpful and happens to be Mexican too. Hopefully while the superconductor synthesis is complete by Monday; I will be assembling everything and giving the final touches to my demo.
