Levitating Pumpkin

(YouTube link)

Watch a cute little Jack-o-Lentern hover in the air and speed around a track while oozing mist behind him! You don't have time to prepare this stunt yourself for Halloween, but you can share the video with your kids. There’s a perfectly logical scientific explanation, involving magnetic fields and superconductors, which are explained by Andy from The Royal Institution. No matter, it still looks cool! -via mental_floss

Hmmm ... since I am not going to build a magnetic track, I will have to build a pumpkin that levitates without one.

Anyone with a left-over mini pumpkin, send it my way. I might use up a few during testing.
