~*~Superconductivity for Modeling use

[Mario]

Is anyone familiar with or done experiments with superconductivity for model use?

If not perhaps we can expand on this subject..

I think this topic belongs in Modeling Science. So, I'm moving it there.

Also, it is not necessary to use ~*~ and ^^^ etc in the titles of your threads to get people's attention. But, maybe that's a personal taste thing.

Gordon,

The use of special front/end characters is a reflection of my personality and sort of my own signature. I like people to be just as excited as I am when I post something of interest. This is just how I am in real life and my fingers tend to mimic this excitement.

Although the topic is of a Scientific Nature It was aimed at Indoor Modeling. You're not giving it the opportunity to expand in Indoor Models, where it was directed at, there has been also similar topics of a Scientific Nature, I don't see them been rmoved to this area.

Would you reconsider if I reposted in the Indoor Models with a the following topic?

The last time I looked there weren't any materials that were superconductiong at room temperature. The problem of keeping the material cold enough gets harder as the size goes down. This is because the surface area incerases faster than the size decreases.

In other words, most indoor models would be over burdened by a flask of liquid nitrogen or the equivalent refrigeration system.

The best brushless motors for models already produce useful power at 80 to 90 percent efficiency. The best you can hope for in a super conducting motor is 100% efficiency. The potential improvement in efficiency would not warrant the cost of superconducting until superconductiong materials were economically available at room temperature. That would be front page news indeed because it would transform the production of virtually all electric motors that society uses long before it became available for models.

Well if that's a true subject heading you've answered your own question. You have experimented with superconductors in "Tiny Indoor Models". Post some information about what you are currently using and we can "expand on" it from there.

Mario,
If you have done something with superconductivity and micro models you need to be more specific. Your original post said nothing about micro models, or whether you had done anything with it, and if you have done anything with it what your experiences were. The thread you started is completely general in nature and lacking in any specifics.
