palladium hydride? :)

[marcheseDS]

Nobody seems to read titles at the end, the video is from 1996...today we should be able to fly with electrical cars but we still use copper, silver and gold for everything. I think this was a blatant lie

[sewageable]

Nooffence to whoever posted this, but it's total garbage. I only worry how many people invested in this, and what happened to all their money...

[spencertron88]

this isnt a scam is it? I thought room temperature superconductors have never been observed in a lab...

[deusAtheismus]

Well... scientists haven't. :) Does that answer your question? :P

[DrBPhD]

@spencertron88 Correct.

[PsionNinja]

wowza

[picketf]

In 1981, researchers of the Russian Academy of Sciences discovered that an oxidized thin-film of atactic polypropylene can have a conductivity at least 100,000 times higher than the best refined metals. The polymers violate the Wiedemann-Franz law by six or seven orders of magnitude.

While Ultraconductors capacity is much inferior to Superconductors it's still the best wire solution on earth at the moment.

Due to expensive licensing it wont ever leave the nano size of computercircuits.

[stupid4liferox]

their web site isn't even real. I wish that we did have the technology for a high temperature conductor, but the aliens took it from area 51

[agentgates]

Their website is removed, but it was available a year ago when I saved the documents. Unfortunately I lost the 2 PDFs during a data loss but I printed them out and found them in my file.

1st patent: US006552883B1

2nd patent: US005777292A

[agentgates]

As for the description they oxidise the polymers, place the metal electrodes (plates, sheets, etc) inside it then apply high voltage+current to straighten the molecules and let it to chil out. When it is solid, they remove the high voltage and the medium is superconductive, but ONLY in the same way the HV was applied.

It is very light, very flexible and ridicilously simple to produce. That is why the fat arses put their hands on it as they all are afraid of a new industrial revolution. :(

[durian789]

Licencing/Franchaise in other words calling for investment money.

[randomunavailable]

American Superconductor (AMSC) has a commercial super conductive cable available for industry. It's not a high temperature super conductor, if you look at the specs, its still cooled by nitrogen, but it's still a better solution than current copper wire technology.

[MrChemix]

WOOOW!! this is like if the wouldd be telling me the future!!! hahaha

[matbos]

hello uiop60 The current record is about 150K it mercury

[uiop60]

I hate to break it to everyone, but there is no room-temp superconductor. The current record is about 137K (77K being the temp that nitrogen liquifies). If they had really created a room-temp superconductor, they would have won a nobel prize, we would all know who they were, and we would all have superconducting appliances in our homes. This technology won't be realised for at least a few years.

[jasondubose2007]

matbos is right, mercury under large amounts of pressure superconducts at a higher temp than the ceramics.

[new01]

@uiop60 I know your comment is old but scientists are getting close, 3C superconductor tested made this year :)

[marcheseDS]

@new01 Very interesting, can you link the infos? Or at least name the team, lab or agency that tested that? I was waiting for that years ago, maybe this time it's really happening

[adamzampino]

FYI - If you would watch the entire video (which is real), then you would see it is dated 1996. This is a real technology that will likely change the world.  I'm a little disappointed it is not widespread yet. Maybe after 1/20/09 it will surface...

[dimeplda]

@Unillenium - I follow you, Bell Labs began reporting small amounts of room temperature superconducting ceramics in 1991. The problem is that there are too many unknowns about the safety of public use. They exibit a range of very exotic properties...

Sure there is an Apple IIc at 1:51, and at 4:15 the video states that the USAF had expressed interest in the polymer as well = Government cover up that began in the 80's.

Tesla's classified experiments, anyone? Google HAARP project for fun ;-)

[dimeplda]

Sorry, I should clarify that...

1. Ultraconductors are not Superconductors. They don't exhibit the same magnetic properties either (dang...).

2. Ultraconductors most certainly exist, and were created in the early 80's. Do a google search on them and see for yourself.

This video is not a hoax...

[unillenium]

We the government must supress this technology, as it will run contrary to our secret agenda of uh... supressing new technologies and sciences developed apart from the mainstream by people who don't know anything about science but claim to have made ultimate scientific breakthroughs that will change the world forever.

[ericinla]

Old Crap and Lies. 1:51 on this video shows a 1981 Apple II Computer and Maybe IBM 8088 from the same year with a Dual 5¼" Floppy drives (No Hard Drive)with a Dot Matrix Printer to the right. Even a Green Screen Monitor. This is a real old video.

[Jasonrf]

you are a fucking idiot if you understood anything about science you would know this is not a lie

[ericinla]

I didn't say the science is crap... The company in the video never developed the technology the way they stated. This video was made over 25 years ago. The company still hasn't come up with a viable commerical Room Temperature Super Conductor. No one has. Unless you know more than scientists that have been working on this for 25 years. If you do, you would be richer than Bill Gates.

[Jasonrf]

ok i am sorry i thought you were saying the science wasnt possible although i wouldnt be surprised if there was a governmental block on this technology like they did with wireless communications in 1934

[mca0824]

Why waste our time with this out of date lie. Someone owes me for 7min. 38 sec. of my time. At my $400.00 an hour pay rate thats about $51.00 so pay up.

[ammuttan]

did you add those few seconds you spend to type this message? FC you

[mca0824]

No, make that $59.00 thanks for pointing that out.

[blahdob]

dude this is so old they probably just use it now.

[freathinker]

When was this posted? What was the date of the video? Go to time index 1:51. Those computers are soooo old.... right around when ceramic superconductors were the rage...  like 1990...

[LongShlong125]

hmmm... this couldve been in the local news all over the world if it was true.

never the less: we will raid your office , rape your wives , steal ur technology , and give it to the poor.

[PeregrinusFalco]

Seems as though the projected earnings are quite a bit off the mark given that, to my knowledge, the integration of superconductors in the fields described 11 years after the fact are no where near 40 billion dollars.
