Abstract: It will be really amazing if we wear a shoe which can make us fly and get us to a destination on which we need to land. The concept of such a shoe, so called “the flying shoe” is surely possible with the amazing technology of magnetic levitation. Magnetic levitation is a technology which works well for the linear motion of an object with the help of electromagnets. This project deals with the shoes which have diamagnetic material attached to their base and flying over a track made up of superconducting material. When the superconducting material is cooled to a certain temperature it acquires the superconducting property due to which it levitates the diamagnetic material above it. The track is also aligned with continuous line of opposite poles of the magnet one after the other. Due to successive attraction and repulsion the shoes start moving along the track which leads to linear motion.
Keywords: Magnetic levitation, flying shoe, diamagnetic material, superconducting coil.
