Behold, the Flying Panadol

Okay. Remember the last time i talked about my lab session, making poisonous tablets and all. Today the saga continued and it really is quite interesting after all. We got to play with some very cool chemicals, and i mean really very cool. Like -196 degree celsius, because it's liquid nitrogen. First, we have to immerse our panadol in that -196 degree celsius liquid and when we measure the resistivity, it turns out to be 0. Which means it has NO resistance whatsoever.

THEN, we played with something more interesting. we put a magnet on top of the tablet and chill the tablet down to very cool temperatures before releasing it and walaa.



The magnet floats.


Below is the improved tablet with coating on and immersed in the cool solution, which may burn ur skin if u're not careful.


Thing is, if u put 2 normal magnets repelling each other, they might end up flying like that. But for this panadol over here, if u try to pull the tablet on top away, the bottom one will be lifted off the pit! Just a got a little excited coz first time seeing marh. very suaku can.

Alrite. Suddenly our experiment became very happening.
