Enjoyed deciphering your shorthand on this lazy weekend day. Say, would you supply some of your erudite explanation of the following quote found elsewhere on this thread? <snip>Gold, silver, copper and nickel will increase significantly ... Superconductivity is the wildcard that could send some of these like silver and nickel into orbit once the importance of efficient electrical conductivity is understood by the public. If high temperature superconductivity materials are found practical, ...<snip> My questions are these: My postulate is that these raw materials are NOT in short supply either above ground or in proven and probable reserves so I do NOT agree with the writer's conclusion at my current level of understanding. . 1) What is "super conductivity" 2) What's the advantage of "high temperature s/c materials" over presumably super cold temp apps? 3) What would it take to make high temp s/c materials "practical." 4) How far away is the re-tooling and impact of s/c on our daily and corporate lives? I'm one of the "public" that writer is addressing, and he's right...I don't hear much about super conductivity, let alone understand much re: practical applications that would make current proven and probable mineral resources, especially in copious nickel and copper output, "go up in price" Class is in session...and use $0.25 words instead of $4.00 on this one, okay? I just know about plugging in my toaster and my toothbrush. Will I get quicker toast in the mornings and a brighter Colgate smile when I understand superconductivities applications? gold_tutor
