🧲 Magnet Levitating over a Superconductor: Flux Pinning, Lift and Critical Temperature (2D side view)

2D side view of a permanent magnet levitating over a cooled YBCO superconductor. Change temperature towards the 92 K critical point, magnet mass and moment, pinning strength, damping and sideways force; drag the magnet and watch field-cooled pinning spring it back. Same reduced-order model as the 3D page, with four in-page numerical checks.
