Fascinating. I'd put a bit more faith in this one on the grounds that 1) the Navy probably wouldn't waste legal cycles on filling this one if it hadn't been reduced to practice, and 2) there looks like there's still energy lost to heat, if I'm reading correctly:<p>> An electromagnetic coil is circumferentially positioned around the coating such that when the coil is activated with a pulsed current, a non-linear vibration is induced, enabling room temperature superconductivity.<p>I'm presuming there's still energy loss taking place with the coil that wraps the wire. So it seems you enable superconductivity and some of its associated benefits but you're still going to have some energy loss since it's... for lack of a better term, an active superconductor rather than a passive one.<p>I wonder if the heat output of the coil is drastically reduced compared to the heat you'd get from electrifying e.g. the sort of cable this seeks to replace?
