web - Sorry Heinz, but silver (Ag) is not an economical superconductor. It is a good normal conductor, however. Is there a new Ag compound that is superconducting above 2 K of which I do not know ? Please inform. The silver was not being used as a superconductor, but rather as a holding/mounting mechanism for using a small amount of the actual superconducting powder as the actual superconducting current flows along the silver-powder interface surface. See hb's urls - Message 15427913 Regards, Don

i have posted all the links yesterday...silver itself isn't a superconductor, that's right. but the only viable high temp superconductor WIRE consists of a silver tube, and a silver wire at the core, with the superconducting powder inside the tube (that's a bit of a simplification actually). it appears that the biggest electron flow occurs where the silver and the superconducting powder touch. if you remind me after trading i will re-post the links.
