Well, Vince, thanks for tagging along. Hope you have a Wimshurst to be
able
to duplicate.

Some good news. I was using toilet paper in a sling with iron filings
slightly
magnetized in the sling suspended near the electrodes and saw some
Meissner Effect but it was a poor setup.

So then I went and visited a machine shop to get a assortment of iron
coil
shavings. I ended up with a 3 cm iron shaving coil that was slightly
magnetized
and I tied one end to a length of dental floss.

Now I suspended the magnetic coil on both electrodes that were
discharged and
as expected the coil was repelled at one electrode and attracted at
the other electrode.

Now I took the coil away and started the Wimshurst generator to give
as rapid fire
as best as possible current to flow through the electrodes jumping the
gap and I
delicately suspended the coil near one electrode and it repelled and
then near the
other electrode and it repelled also whereas discharged it had
attracted.

As you voiced in your reply, my most difficult part of this experiment
is to get as
continuous of a current as possible.

So I believe I have witnessed a Meissner Effect on a Wimshurst
generator of
its Capacitor-Current.

Also, I see in the news as of recently, Brookhaven having found some
materials superconduct
in the 2dimensional plane but do not superconduct 3D overall. So a
material can superconduct
in a 2nd dimension but not superconduct in 3rd dimension. To me that
is more supporting evidence
that superconduction is merely a Capacitor current for 2nd dimension
is capacitors.

I should make another post on this Brookhaven news.

Vince, do you have a Wimshurst? And can you confirm my evidence of a
Meissner Effect?
