Is it possible to use a superconductor for levitation for a temperature of about 1-2 celsius

Well, the only reason that this theory is impractical is because it requires a very low temperature. much lower than we could create in our daily routine. so i would be highly obliged if i could be given a practical way to either create that low temperature or a method of using a superconductor at temperature of about 1-2 Celsius.

      Jul 16 2012: do you have any idea about how to create that low temperature for long periods of time?

        Jul 16 2012: You require a lot of liquid nitrogen and you need to have it constantly being pumped around the structure being the superconductor. But it's still not great, MRI machines use this science and they're too expensive.

      Jul 20 2012: Stewart -- Joe Eck at Superconductors.org is constantly about two years ahead of the curve, with people publishing the same results in science journals long after he posts his results. He claims to have created a room temperature superconductor. His past successes make me suspect he has.
