Think room temperature SQUID magnetometers.Think of how the power dissipation in high density integrated circuits is caused to a sizable extent by the resistance of the tiny electrical traces. (remember when it was such a big deal that Intel was one of the first to develop the technology to replace the aluminum wiring with copper on the surface of an IC. In fact,imagine all the traces on a printed circuit board being replaced with superconductors. (ok,you need higher than room temperature for these applications)<br /><br /> There are countless applications. Superconducting wiring in motors eliminating resistance losses ,and reducing cooling requirements. Superconducting power lines. Superconducting brushless motor drivers,again increasing motor efficiency. MRI machines that cost 100 thousand dollars instead of a million and a half.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821464279005499761.post-91206677217278202902012-10-23T04:49:51.573-04:002012-10-23T04:49:51.573-04:00The prospect of power and energy transmitted via s...The prospect of power and energy transmitted via superconductors at the temperature of water is attractive because water is easily accessible and inexpensive.

A superconductor has lossless transmission – meaning all of the electricity goes through and no power is lost.”<br />Albert Rogershttp://www.passingalldrugtest.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821464279005499761.post-78887967175487127322012-10-17T16:59:58.722-04:002012-10-17T16:59:58.722-04:00I believe that this statement is in error (or, at ...I believe that this statement is in error (or, at least, worded very poorly):<br /><br />"The challenge now is that the highest temperature superconducting material – demonstrated 25 years ago by IBM Research scientists – is liquid nitrogen, which superconducts at 77 Kelvin (-321F). "<br /><br />According to the information I've been able to find, Nitrogen does not superconduct, regardless of it's temperature. It is used to cool "high temperature" superconductors, such as YCBO, which superconduct at 92K, since liquid Nitrogen boils at 77K.<br /><br />DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10957885461530074605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821464279005499761.post-66304319478803709172012-10-17T16:58:32.194-04:002012-10-17T16:58:32.194-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10957885461530074605noreply@blogger.com
