Abstract
We report on our latest measurements of gravity cancellation in the low-gravity simulator using a magnetostrictive force. We made these measurements using a new thermal conductivity cell design that is 0.5cm in diameter and 0.5cm in height. Gravity cancellation was verified by measuring both the reduction in the Tλvariation across the cell and the suppression of thermal convection as a function of the magnetic field. Full gravity cancellation was achieved in the simulator with B(dB/dz) ≈ 21 T2/cm, agreeing well with the calculated value and the valve found from levitating drops of helium.
