    New claim of room temperature super conductor has been made. LK-99
  • I worked on superconductors in the 60's. 8 degrees absolute was the best we had. ~80 degrees absolute today impresses me. Don't expect room temperature this century.
  • @mathew00
    My husband started watching this but then he got SHOCKED and I had to call the wambulance. Be careful out there!
  • @kaiwheeler64
    Maybe the turbo pump designs in rocket engines can benefit from superconducting electric motors when they can be cooled by the cryogenic fuel?
  • @JG-dd8jy
    At 1:28 Isn't that a CT scanner? You can see the detector array at the bottom (5 fans) and the x-ray tube at the top left
  • @nicklaich
    conventional motors also quite effective (especially on such power) but of course way heavier. but cooling hardware also have weight so not everything are clear.
  • Big questions... Is it reliable under arduous conditions? Is it's cost within the reach the average consumer? Is it sustainable?
  • Would be good for a generator rather than a motor. The mechanical to electrical conversion would be over 95%
  • Sounds encouraging if they can raise the superconducting temp.
  • @JoeyBlogs007
    The torque potential could destroy the smaller lighter motor when full power potential is applied. ( i.e. due to its lower mass relative to input power ) it would have to be optimised to function within the operational limits of the motor, due to material strength limitations. I guess they've done all that testing, so they know it can work.
  • @johngalt7382
    So a 400, or 800lb motor, with 10, or 20 tons of batteries, copper, and cooling equipment, to run it. Genius.... I'm guessing large scale gas turbines, or diesel gennys at the airports to charge the mega ampere batteries?
  • @ralph5476
    At anywhere near ~20T, steel cores would be pointless, as they saturate ~1.5T. Additionally, steel would have enormous core losses at ~20T. What do they use? Air cores now?
  • I did not know about it. But very high conductivity could mean that the skin-depth with a varing external magnetic field is much smaller. This would increase the inner current density inside the super-conductor and decrease the total rotating current capability. I did not read much about skin-effect in super-condutors, it seams they are for static fields.
  • @Buongona
    nice to see other uses than levitating a magnet. Also 99%efficiencies have been achieved by commercial electric motors long time ago, it's only unheard of by people who don't follow tech.
  • @chrisbrooks89
    I theorize that with magnetic bearings and magnetic gears we could achieve over 100% efficiency.
  • One possible use of this. Use high voltage DC for transmission and using the dc to turn this motor generate AC for cities.
