High Temperature Superconductors 2

Video 2 regarding the study of High Temperature Superconductors. Full article and more videos- http://www.eequalsmcsquared.auckland.ac.nz/sites/emc2/videos/cool-kiwi-scienc...

'HTS stands for high temperature superconductors which start superconducting when cooled below a threshold temperature. While there's lots of science behind it all, it involves conducting electricity without resistance which ultimately allows us to make more powerful and smaller magnets, motors, generators and other electrical devices.

One HTS material, an oxide of bismuth and copper, was discovered by Jeff Tallon and colleagues in 1988. It has an operating temperature of 110 kelvin [about minus 170 degrees C]. Jeff and his team fought for 16 years to obtain a US patent for the material. It was finally issued to them in 2004. It is currently the only HTS material used in long-length wires and is now being used to manufacture very efficient and compact cables, transformers, magnets, generators and motors.'

Subliminal advertising at 2:20 I thought it was banned to use such methods

How thuck is it, bro?

Sex inchus?

KIWI!!!! <3

@numberJ5 : That is only for ohmic conductors....

@bergenstation

type in youtube - Hand vs. Liquid Nitrogen - Revisited

[mikgigs]

@bergenstation LN is not harmful for hand for short periods of time. It has the same effect as drop of water on hotplate(it forms movilng bubble, which actually touches the skin in very small contact surface). It needs time to cool down, and this trick is used by magicians for example cooling stoned banana in nitrogen, but touching the liquid bu hands. If you need to cool down something, better use cottong plug to ensure better contact surface.

@numberJ5 there is a bit more involved that that my friend.. but glad you're interested

[12monkeyz12]

can i have a job please?

[bergenstation]

He is so brave that uses liquid nitrogen without gloves!

@numberJ5

Superconductors do not follow Ohm's Law.

[numberJ5]

V=IR

I=V/R

If R=0, as in a superconductor, wouldn't the current be undefined?

[Northernjon101]

good man liquid nitrogen... No Gloves!! haha only a kiwi

[Mivdawg]

what is this superconductor made of?

[rbolo29]

Yttrium Iterate(yitterate) is for superconduction at room temperatures. It uses mathematical lattices and 3 dimensional cystalline structuring.

Hi splevvy,

New Zealanders call themselves Kiwis after a native bird and they say "i" instead of "e" and "e" instead of "i" so when they speak English it sounds different.

I was just making fun of the New Zealand work place health and safety(WPH & S)methods. You will notice he did not wear protective gloves or safety glasses when handling liquid Nitrogen. It is very harmful if it touches your skin.

Sweet Fuck All (meaning none)safety precautions..Where are the WPH & S Inspectors?

[splevvy]

Lol.

[splevvy]

say wut?

[AkaraSorin]

Thks for posting,interesting stuff, but please have the Tech wear safety gear when handling the cold stuff lol Liq/nitrogen, N, 7can do ya some damage.

[yaluobud]

Typecal Kiwis,

Swiit FA safety pricauteons... Whir are thi Work Place Hilth and Safety Enspictors?

[baley7]

wow he manages, liquid nitrogen with bare hands :o
