Making superconductors

Go to expressvpn.com/nilered and find out how you can get 3 months free.
A few years ago, I saw a video about superconductors and it looked like anti-gravity magic. So, I decided to try and make some superconductors myself and to see if I could re-create the effect myself. In particular, I'll be making a YBCO superconductor, which is one of the few practical high-temperature superconductors.
Procedures:
1) One with potential problem: bit.ly/3fjdX70
2) One I followed: bit.ly/2DaNEmb

ben is the best thing to happen to science on youtube. nurdrage was def up there too until he basically stopped posting. but applied science is just amazing every time. until he starts coding on that one piece of hardware whose name completely slips my mind, but they can be pieced together to run all sorts of low power, things that don't need much computing power, like scoreboards or whatever. they can be used to do basically anything tho, and it's driving me crazy that i can't remember the name. but anyway, yeah, the coding stuff is all over my head, but everything else is amazing and i love his channel so much

[@srenkoch6127]

I guess I'm a minority though, because I immediately guessed he was doing the nitrate-citrate synthesis. I was actually a bit worried when he did it in an open beaker, as I have personally seen the synthesis done in a chimney apparatus, as some materials when made this way kind of impersonates a rocket in reverse... (Our labs are no longer allowed to do it that way as it creates way too much nano-particles which are kind of bad for yo if you inhale them, and even doing it in a fume hood is not enough in some cases....) So yes, that synthesis can be described as 'opening the gates to hell' The hell just only shows up 20 years later in the form of lung cancer :-(

“Huh”

[@r6clipsclutches503]

See what had happened was i was messing around and it fell and now im going to lie

[@Arkamin94]

Yeah I work at fedex and I can tell you why. Crates are what what we call incompletables so the building can't sort them so they are manually sorted. This means it is dragged out of the truck by one person, dragged to a conveyor belt by another, pulled off that belt by another, and finally loaded into a truck by a last person. This happens in every building it goes through. Unless the crate is well made it is going to break open. I see at least one or two broken crates in QA every night.

Great content! Superconductivity is such a complex physical phenomenon with massive potential for future applications. It already powers high-resolution medical devices and may be a great solution for transportation. I need to freshen up on Cooper pairs, first- and second order phase transitions and Eddy currents to renew my understanding of them.

That capacitor fix is so lucky dude. My main experience with capacitor problems comes from 01 Xboxs and old monitors, basically anything from very late 90s/ early 00s (cap rot). It is a 50/50 pretty much that you test the equipment, capacitor is already exploded/ ready to pop, and then you got electrolytic juice helping the current flow jump the circuit and maybe pass a resistor, fry the board, etc. The fact that nothing was fried is gods grace lmao
