    I'm a materials scientist. Though I don't work on superconductors, I've been reading papers tied to it for the past few years. If anyone in the comments is a skilled programmer with some knowledge of physics, I HIGHLY encourage you to work on simulation tools for continuum materials. An example of popular simulation software we use is Quantum Espresso, which is free to use. We always need more people working in MatSci theory, now more than ever. Just, be warned that QE is in Fortran, which is a nightmare to work with. Otherwise, there is always VASP, which unfortunately costs money.

      @@jollyyeholiver1599 graphene is not a superconductor. It's a semiconductor. While yes, its resistivity is extremely low, and it has the highest electron mobility of any known material, these electrons are ballistic bonds, meaning the number of electrons is very low. Plus, graphene is still quite expensive to mass produce. While you could get some kind of faux-superconductivity with many many layers of graphene and boron nitride stacked over one another, you'd have to do that thousands of times, which isn't currently practical. Plus, mass production of boron nitride sheets is also an expensive process.

      Others systems have similar power related issues.
      So because of the direct military applications into improving current technologies ability to function under higher power load.
      I would expect that at least the USA DARPA would take this line tec and run with it.

      @@stefan-simionsamfirescu6122 Yeah, but that have the same problems as the proposed "hyperloop", where you'll have to build a vacuum system that is thousands of times bigger then the currently biggest system to equal a short metro line. Not to forget that you'll have to have locks and regulators, but if ANY of them fails (modern industrial equipment, etc. usually operate with a 2% failure rate per year), the subsequent introduction of oxygen would cause a few hundred meters to be ripped apart in an instance, and anybody inside would die due to g-forces. The logistical challenges in maintaining such a system are so far beyond anything we do today that I don't see it happening. Just look at how often planes have to be inspected top-to-bottom, and a vacuum tunnel would require a magnitude more maintenance for the same surface area.

    I’m not sold on superconductors making these levels of radical changes globally. I feel like a boat load of assumptions are made. How financially feasible is rebuilding all this infrastructure around eliminating a 10% transmission loss? Wouldn’t natural gas producers still benefit from superconductors? The global economy is going to be in the toilet for years to come and even wealthy countries are struggling to invest into infrastructure. I’d love to be wrong but this seems like something that would almost entirely be used for like 1-2 militaries and maybe like a couple rail lines.

    • @Boiling_Seas
      @Boiling_Seas 9 місяців тому +9

      No resistance means less heat waste, which also means potentially less maintenance and part replacement. It also means longer power lines are feasible, such as from Morocco to Spain, or Australia to Singapore. Natural gas producers would face reduced demand as their customers no longer need as much to maintain power generation, and the transition to renewables could proceed quicker. A solar plant with a superconducting connection to the grid and storage would have minimal maintenance cost and no fuel cost, so the variable cost of production is extremely low. The fixed cost of producing the power plant could be more than recouped within a decade, making power very cheap throughout the world.

    • @andreassag
      @andreassag 9 місяців тому +1

      The biggest problem with fusion isn't at the moment to produce it at a reasonable price, but to sustain a reaction for a long time. We just recently managed to produce a reaction that was able to produce more energy, then it consumed for sustainment. The other problem that has yet to be solved, is the neutron balance. Currently, no reaction can be sustained for very long because neutrons will escape, causing the reaction to "run out of fuel" because the reaction is unable to produce an equilibrium of tritium.

      There exists *aneutronic* fusion using boron and high-energy protons as initiators. Its product being helium nuclei makes the harvesting of the fusion-released energy much easier than from neutrons.
      Neutrons make materials brittle and their lacking electrical charge makes them hard to work with to harvest their energy. Helium nuclei also known as alpha particles are electrically positive-charged so they are vastly easier to work with to harvest their energy.

You could easily make a magnetic levitation rail outside of a major city, and eminent domain wouldn't be as much of an issue out west or when boring through the Rockies despite how expensive that part of it would be. There's plenty of land that a 20-minute train ride from the outskirts of LA to NY or Boston is much more feasible than taking an established interstate highway that rests in the center of a 400 old city, and wiping it away while you dig under the city right off the shoreline -- shoreline which was originally swamp and bog land until the settlers had to expand city limits and kept filling it in with rubble and debris. The reduction in ticket cost and travel time would justify driving 30 to 60 minutes from the station to the city, or just hopping on a more conventional train station from the mag rail one.
