[@martinw245]

This is for use in superconducting magnets. Not sure if this is the superconducting material itself or not. It might be the coils that are used alongside the superconducting magnets to energise them. In either case, the superconducting material is submerged in liquid nitrogen, at that tempreture, the magnetic coil becomes superconducting, and current flows unimpeded, even when the power source is removed. For initial energizing of the coils, I'm guessing connections will be added. Or of course it might be that they energise the coil with magnetic induction. The holy grail of course is super conductivity at room temreture. For those who dont know, this company are developing nuclear fusion technology. So these superconducting magnets will be used to confine the plasma. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet

[@JohanMontelius]

Is 20 K a temperature that ST-F1 will be able to work with or is it necessary to have these magnets work also at higher temperatures before they can be used in ST-F1? What is the highest temperature that the current HTS magnets can work in today?

[@aleksandersuur9475]

While High Temperature Superconductors live up to their name you still need low as possible temperatures to put maximum amount of current through them and to achieve maximum field strengths. It would remain superconducting at liquid nitrogen temps, but you would not get the same performance.

[@fraznofire2508]

Quick question, why does the magnet have to operate at such low temperatures?

[@Muonium1]

the Cooper pairs carrying the superconducting current are destroyed by molecular lattice vibrations at higher temperatures.

[@timsmall7470]

First the coils are superconducting, so they must be cooled to below their superconducting temperature before they become superconducting (with no magnetic field present). Second, the stronger the magnetic field strength they are operating in, the lower the temperature they need to be kept at to maintain superconductivity.

[@stevenreiman2333]

Cooper pairs do not like mosh pits, or smashing nuclei. And when you brute force a solution it requires compensation for the laws of nature applied. If you first start with a divinely inspired solution, with (significantly improved) magnetization using AC and DC waveforms, with elegance in design. You could have a Searl Effect Generator (SEG). Which cools itself as it operates. I liken it similar to a water wheel, but using free electrons from the air. During operation of an SEG electrons pair like cooper pairs dancing together, but far better than low or high temperature superconductors they dance around the electromagnetic lines of force as they travel through the SEG without smashing into nuclei. In doing so heat is withdrawn from the generator itself as it operates. Providing FREE energy without fusion or fission. Electrons Flow with Magnetic Current - Searl Effect Generator m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKakdHyZhqqBoLc To learn more, do your research, and checkout The John Searl Story. By the way, the only reason to build nuclear power plants is for raw materials to build atomic bombs. They should all be shut down. Except the wizard of oz wants to scare people, and they don’t want us to have free energy. In 1931~33 Tesla drove the first car to use free energy for about a week, it even got up to 100 mph. The initial prototype motor was not the source of the energy, and had some thermal issues handling so much energy. I believe I read low temperature superconducting metallurgy structure is well understood. Extrapolating the theory a room temperature superconductor should exist up to 300K. We just need to discover it or declassify it? It’s time for people to wake up. We’ve been lied to, for too long. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn7RgX6Ml8x7bJI

[@harrysvensson2610]

@@jedimastersterling1 Come on, read between the lines. I said a demonstration and mentioned one I thought that would be okay, clearly it's not. You know how you can move a magnet that is on a table by holding another magnet over it and moving it to the side? A demonstration like that won't create a bullet. That will only move something somewhat sideways and it would be very fascinating to see how many centimeters away it would be able to move a 1x1x1 cm iron cube somewhat to the side.

[@BattousaiHBr]

20T is very strong, i think they'd need to create a whole scenario with the sole purpose of a demonstration just to make it viewable while still safe. because of how magnets work, they are fundamentally unsafe to do demonstrations like that. magnets pull things towards them, and the problem is that the closer they are the more strongly they are pulled. that creates a positive feedback loop where one small mistake and you have a serious hazard in your hands. the scenario is inherently unstable.

No, and no magnet would be able to do that. The iron in your body is complexed and then held inside a protein (haemoglobin), and in that form, it isn't magnetic.
