I wasn't going to go any further with this but To argue that superconductors don't work because they fail (even catastrophically) under high enough current is equivalent to saying that bridges don't work because they fail (with loss of life) under high enough loads. I never "argued" that. I posted some material taken from an article about superconductor application utilizing its failure characteristic. The implication I made was that applications of superconductors will be as big, or bigger than a Volkswagen or smaller than a dime - mostly smaller than a dime because of the refrigerating cost. Superconducting applications with economic payoff will be for information, computing, and control, not transmission. Frankw
