How to Make a Superconductor at Home

Superconductors are known as the holy grail of energy transmission, energy storage and even computing. You can make one yourself if you possess a bit of will, knowledge and the following:
Equipment
To make an yttrium-barium-copper-oxide superconductor, you will need:
* Yttrium Oxide
* Barium Carbonate (TOXIC)
* Cupric Oxide
* A Laboratory Furnace or a converted pottery kiln.
* Labware made of alumina.
* An Oxygen Source
* Liquid Nitrogen and a rare-earth magnet for testing and demonstrating the superconductors
Method
There are a number of methods of producing ceramic superconductors like this, but the simplest is the so-called “shake and bake” method, which involves a four step process:
1. Mixing the chemicals;
2. Calcination(the initial firing);
3. The intermediate firing(s) (oxygen annealings);
4. The final oxygen annealing.
