    Magnetic flux pinning sometimes there and sometimes not.

    Hello. As far as I know about superconductors, if you put a superconducting material in a magnetic field and then cool that material below its critical temperature, the material should lock to that magnetic field (magnetic flux pinning). Now I have seen videos where the locked magnet/material is...
