The speaker is 32-year-old PhD student from Israel studying the effects of quantum locking and how superconductors interact with magnetic fields. He gives a talk titled "levitates" where he demonstrates how a superconductor can levitate above a magnet due to quantum locking effects that trap magnetic fields inside the superconductor.

2. 32 year old PhD from
Israel. Studying the effects
of quantum locking. And the
effects of superconductors
on magnetic fields.

3. IN HIS TALK TITLED
"levitates" a superconductor

4. Dr.Almog describes how electrons collides
with atoms and loose energy in the form
of heat.
In a super conductor there is no collisions
No collisions means, No energy loss
Super conductors expel magnetic fields
Small strands of magnetic fields can be trapped
Inside the superconductor.
This make the superconductor lock itself into place

5. Quantum locking/ Levitation
Locks flux lines inside and keeping
Disk from moving in space.
LEVITAION!

6. 1. Who is the speaker that you chose, and
what is the thesis of the speech?
I chose to do my TED slide show over
DR. Boaz Almog "levitates" a superconductor video.
He talks about how and why quantum levitation work.

7. a. How did the speaker capture the attention
of the audience in his or her introduction?
The introduction started with a demonstration, Without explaining anything first. It was a
great attention grabber. He then explained went on to explain the concepts.

8. Demonstration of the superconductor disk on a flat magnet

9. How did the speaker maintain the engagement
of the audience throughout the speech?
Through out the speech the speaker maintained a clear
and active voice. He had many demonstrations and that
was more than enough to keep the audience intrigued.

10. Evaluate the speaker in terms of dynamism from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). What could
the speaker have done to increase his or her dynamism?
DYNAMISM
3/5
I think a lighter mood or a more passionate tone for the subject mater could have put this
presentation over the top. Although it did keep my interest, I think that more stage
movement or even a more energetic voice could have transformed this into something
entirely better.

12. What have you learned about
delivery based upon
watching your presenter?
Demonstrations can help allot
Eye contact is key
Make sure your audience knows what your
talking about

13. Compare and contrast your speaker to Sir Ken
Robinson from the two videos you watched
(“Schools Kill Creativity” and “Changing
Education Paradigms”)
Boaz Almogs Speech was a lot less laid back
while Sir Ken Robinson had a lot of jokes to
keep the audience’s attention rather than just
having a demonstration. The second part had
animation and talking as well as a few jokes.
The two have entirely different styles to keep
the attention of the audience but both are
effective.

14. What tips can you give your
classmates on delivery for their
upcoming speeches based ONLY
on your TED Talk
I would say that to all classmates out there, make sure
you practice your speech. You can tell by the way that the
speakers in our video preform a speech they have done it
a few times. Also I would say try and pay attention to the
audience. The speakers react with the audience and it
shows when you look at the quality of a speech.
