Its a ce*ACK*

Seething twitwit raging about better people than him, hehe.

>>15607297
I read those tweets in his voice.

>>15607297
>>15607305
Thought the same thing lol. Wrap the ceramic in a stable material. Thunderfoot is such an attention whore and retard who always neglects useful information that doesn't fit the narrative.

It's so over that we're back

>this faggot now seething also
can this get any better? i mean besides it turning out to be real and applicable

>>15607305
YBCO cables can look sexy as hell, I hope the future looks like this.

>>15607333
Where's your chemistry PhD and dozens of published papers and thousands of citations? Oh wait you're not ThunderGOF, nigger.

>>15607297
Is it wrong for me to think that the opinion of most of these people who studied high-temperature superconductors is almost entirely worthless?
LK-99 allegedly solved the problem in a way they never really imagined, why would I take their opinions in the matter seriously when this is outside their area of expertize?

You will see that most of the people that completely dismiss it don't even engage with it, while the people who are open to try engage with the theory of how it work.It's the hypothetical problem, they can't engage with it because it would destroy their egos since they've been looking at the wrong place for the solution.

There is literally nothing lost by being open to the idea, if it ends up being a scam we will learn soon enough.

>>15607464
>thundergof
hehe

>>15607297
thunderf00t... that guy sounds familiar? Is he a goon? I remember someone with a similar name being a retard many year ago. Gamergate? Outted for child porn? It was definitely something like that.

>>15607297
Why does this guy talk like an autistic furry?

>>15607297
I want it to be real so baddly, not because it would be world changing technology, but because I want to see the seethe and cope of all the people like him.

>>15607543
A few years ago he made a video calling elon a fraud and everyone called him thunderfag.

>>15607590
He makes a vide like that about every week now, mostly talks about the hyperloop
The subject might be this or that, but the actual content is always musk + hyperloop

>>15607613
yeah he has retarded Redditors seething about it pretty much every chance they get
>Musk is the reason why my shithole country and state is mired in beauracracy and definitely why it takes 15 years for environmental studies and approvals to happen. if it weren't for musk shilling hyperloop, we'd be exploring the outer singularity by now.
truly retarded

>>15607590
Well seeing how Elon has turned out, I'd say he has fully redeemed himself and then some.

>>15607689
Careful there. Elon is a part of identity politics now. If you insult him, people will get offended on behalf of their stale meme man

>>15607689
He was wrong then and is even more wrong now

>>15607297
Truly over

>>15607543
He's one of the early youtube Atheist guys that happen to be around still. I was watching his videos like 15 years ago when I was an edgy teen. I don't know what his credentials are exactly but he is a STEM guy and now he makes videos seething about Elon musk or debunking flat earther stuff.

>>15608612
He has a PhD in Chemistry and has published many papers and has thousands of citations. He's the real deal when it comes to critiquing something like LK-99. If he says its bullshit, you'd better perk up and listen.

>>15608789
Yet he can't google search superconducting wire?

>>15608789
Lol this is entirely nebody knows anything so his phd is useless. The koreans have been at it for 25 yrs

What is it with you fags? You don't have to like the fag to admit that he's smart and has relevant experience to talk about LK-99. You don't have to believe him, but if you dismiss it entirely you'd have to be pretty fucking dumb.

>>15608873
he is not superconducting expert retard, he doesn't have any experience leave alone in lk 99 science isn't dogma where we are supposed to believe you if you have a phd

>>15608877
Ok so a PhD mathematician can't give some impressions on math shit because he specialized on combinatorics, and this other thing is on probability theory. Completely irrelevant and he has nothing good to say at all. Fucking idiot.

Oh and by the way I should mention that the authors aren't superconductor experts either. One of them is just some monkey that worked for the LG battery division, and the other was some adjunct professor for a different topic entirely.

>>15607297
I dont understand his angle. There is no reason why you couldnt make "wires" from a ceramic that I know of.

why is he under the impression "wires" cant be made from ceramics?

>>15608885
they have been at it for 25 yrs, this isn't math, this is science and especially experimental so your theorising phd is useless, plus this is an entirely new material that nobody else has worked with ok, they are the only experts that understand how to make it. Unless you have succeeded in making it, you are no expert.

>>15608897
Then why should we listen to anyone that made it? They didn't put in the work, they're only following the directions on the paper. It didn't work? Well don't listen to them, because they didn't put in the grueling hours and experiments! I can't believe you don't realize how stupid you sound. I bet you would call the people who called out cold fusion as fucking retarded right out of the gate as haters too.

>>15608798
go

>>15608905
Nobody has made it retard, at least a sample that works. Have you even read the story of how they made it and how many attempts and accidents led to a sample that worked or are you another newfag who is hellbent on defending thunderfag because you saw his name on a post?

>>15608915
>nobody has made a sample that works
Thanks for BTFOing yourself. Case closed. Goodbye.

>>15608920
fuckoff you thunderfag twat come back when you have a working sample

>>15608924
What do you have to say now, retard? Don't bother, you'll just make yourself look even more stupid.

thank you for this epiphany

Anyone got the list of all the "debunked" thunderfoot stuff that became reality? Its funny seeing him seeth at those and simply claiming all the information wasnt present for him to know its real despite him confidentially claiming each time there was enough info to debunk it

>>15607770

Debunking is easier than creating and its the biggest sign of a brainlet that couldn't make it

>>15607297
Thunderfart is such a brainlet. As soon as he isn't debunking Elon Musk he falls flat on his crooked Brit bong teeth.

>>15609209
I want to see this

>>15609209
I have the list. Here it is:

Seriously he doesn't "debunk" shit that isn't retarded. This is retarded.

>>15609359
His biggest discovery that he wrote about seems to be that he recorded NaK water interaction and noted that the drop of NaK turned translucent right before it explodes on contact with water.

Yep!

>>15607297
I never thought I find myself agreeing with Thunderfag. Has shit gotten THAT bad?

>>15610211
maybe its you that has gotten that bad anon.. ever think of that

>>15610211
No one on social media is debunking or confirming shit about this. You need a press release and a paper at minimum from a credible research institution to actually even contribute to that and none of these literal whos online can do it without involving heavy speculation and conjecture with existing theories which LK-99 purports to break.

>>15610454

it's over

the LK99 has fallen

>>15608988
He'll just ignore the topic forever more and move the goalposts somewhere else and deny ever having done so.

If you can loop current infinitely with superconductors, and currents induce magnetic fields, couldn't you do a massive solenoid structure around the barrel that holds current and causes a permanent magnetic force pointing down the barrel? Then you'd just need to top off the current after each shot.

>>15611199
Yes, they're called quench guns.

>>15611014
How do you make a 30 minute video about spacex using the flight termination system on starship because they lost hydraulics? Also why is spacex dominating space if they are busted? Why isn't elon bankrupt?

The Florida techbros say they made a superconducting foam.

>>15611252
Lmao, okay, how many meters of that are commercially produced and at what cost and which complex fabrication techniques? The comparison to glass fiber production is disingenuous as glass is an amorphous solid that is trivially easy, inexpensive to spin fibers from, and is commercially done in quantity exceeding millions of meters annually. 99% of other ceramics lack the amorphous characteristics that allow for them to be inexpensively spun into cables/fibers.

Kill yourself midwit.

>>15611040
What’s with you fags and railguns
You don’t even know about the weapons we already have what makes you think they’re a good idea

>>15611302
>complex processing
>demonstration projects
>long lengths using low cost methods

In any regard, these headlines seem to concede my argument that processing wires from these ceramics is complex and mostly useful in demonstration projects, which is unlike heating silica glass slightly above the Tg and pulling a fiber to be spin onto a spindle.

If you want widespread acceptance of high temp super conductors for usage in large scale projects such as high voltage, long distance electric transmission in commercial markets, it's probably not viable. Processing will never be akin to or as easy as glass fiber production.

>>15611324
We'll figure it how to scale manufacturing after throwing billions of dollars of R&D at it, the point is that it can be done.

>>15611324
The problem is that we don't know if it's simply too difficult to make roebel cables at scale cheaply, or if there isn't enough demand to drive investments to do that.
Remember, in order to even use these cables, you need a ludicrous amount of cooling. The cost to cool the demonstration devices is so high that I'd expect that to be the main hurdle for any mass adoption.

>>15611332
>We'll figure it how to scale manufacturing after throwing billions of dollars of R&D at it, the point is that it can be done.
This is the usual response but physics of processing ceramics more or less haven't changed in fifty years. I hope you're right, should high temp superconductors come to fruition, I expect the processing and mass production to be a major hurdle. Jury is still out on this research and will be for quite some time despite all the retardation here. Also, another consideration, I believe their theoretical concept is immense internal pressures within the material, I work as a materials engineer and can tell you, intentionally adding huge residual internal stresses to the material will make processing an extra chore to scale if it's even possible to get yields that are longer than a few mm, I can't even imagine the reject rate for early scale production should this sort of technology ever be commercialized. Who knows though, semiconductor creation the way we do it now would be an impossible feat 30 years ago.

>>15611335
>The problem is that we don't know if it's simply too difficult to make roebel cables at scale cheaply, or if there isn't enough demand to drive investments to do that.
Probably a mix of both, I suspect with the actual needs for SCs now, the prices is much more flexible, if you really need a SC, generally you're willing to pay two arms and two legs for it and deal with all the bullshit of maintaining it's properties.
>Remember, in order to even use these cables, you need a ludicrous amount of cooling. The cost to cool the demonstration devices is so high that I'd expect that to be the main hurdle for any mass adoption.
I'd believe it is a major hurdle, and keeping the pressure within bounds since that can affect superconductivity too. This basically means there are challenges running HVDC replacement undersea cables due to the high pressures for water weight or similar. With he Meissner effect could be decent for maglev

>>15611403
However cheap the cable ends up being, I'd imagine splicing and sintering cable ends to be a nightmare. Like even more expensive and finicky than fiber optics.

imagine going through EMDrive just a few years ago only to go through the same shit again. i think this just means a lot of people subconsciously know we are fucked without a miracle.

I would take great joy in feeding this cocksucker into a wood chipper, inch by inch, and listening to his screams.

>>15611439

>>15611421
Oh that's a good point, almost forget otg installation and fab. Yeah, that'll be a nightmare although I'm not sure how glass fiber gets mated up to repeaters and other filaments. I would guess glass has connectors and a fluid between fibers that has a similar refractive index to glass for long distance transmissions but technically those don't have to mate up chemically with one another unlike a SC will.

>>15607297
What a stupid fucking post, and you are a stupid fucking cunt for posting it

>>15611455
>I'm not sure how glass fiber gets mated up to repeaters and other filaments

I used to do this for a job, it's super easy.

>strip sheathing
>clean naked fiber with IPA
>put both ends in clamps
>clamps go in cleaver which scores and snaps it perfectly square
>clamps go in splicing machine
>auto aligns the ends, two electrodes zap them together
>heat shrink wrap the splice

It's not a completely flawless connection but the losses are basically non-existent. For repeaters, they come from the factory with tails on them that you splice the leads onto.

>>15607464
Where's his physics PhD? Chemists know shit

>>15611464
Ah interesting, so it's just a "weld" basically with a preparation and fixturing process. Ha I'm a metallurgist so putting in terminology my smol brain can understand.

Makes sense, it doesn't need to be perfect since repeaters will boost the signal back up to a designated intensity. Unfortunately in the context of SCs, especially this new one everyone is obsessed over, I doubt it would be this simple to mate them to one another that doesn't involve adding a weak link in terms of conductivity like a solder joint or braze of some variety.

>>15611502
>that doesn't involve adding a weak link in terms of conductivity like a solder joint or braze of some variety.
Why is that such a problem for most applications? You could still make an incredible conductor even if it isn't a perfect SC, right?

>>15611504
It's basically 0 or nothing, may as well use copper.

Someone who works on superconductors and YBCO talked about it.
https://twitter.com/drjolatunji/status/1684071807966650370

"Superconductors are not a panacea. The paper shows a tiny critical current, in the mA range. Not enough for useful large scale applications like you're suggesting."

"I design superconducting magnets professionally, in a 4mm wide tape with a 1-2 micrometer layer of YBCO, we can get critical currents exceeding 2 kA at hundreds of meters of wire length. I'd wait before claiming large scale applications are feasible"

"That's fine, I am less skeptical and think the results are real. However, there are hundreds of discovered superconducting materials, most have low current density, poor in-field performance, and cannot be made into long wires. So are unfeasible for large scale applications."


So even if LK-99 is real, it's very unlikely it will ever be used for anything than very niche applications, and won't be the "energy problem solver that allows long distance power delivery and zero-loss electronics" normies are already calling it.

>>15614395

If they knew what they had or how to replicate it back then it would have been news. Sounds like the creation process itself is still far from streamlined, and while room temp ambient pressure superconductors weren't thought to be impossible or anything, I don't know of any other people coming close to creating one. It's almost always easier to work from a working model or idea or template than to be starting from zero, especially if the extant samples can be examined or learned from.

I just want a really cool desk toy.

What works in one lab will often need to be adjusted to work in another, with different equipment, altitude, humidity, etc.
And the original team only had a 10% success rate. The paper was published far in advance by a guy from their team they fired a while ago, probably as a revenge, so the process isn't perfect.

my radiostronomy equipment is a shity satelite dish that i got for free, and the cheap dvb dab thingy that everybody uses. Its been a while since i used it, like 5 years...
when i have a basic electronics lab i will do more shit but pro radio equipment is expensive

If Thinderf00t debunks something, you would do well to share his skepticism. He's a sperg for sure, but he's right more often than not.

Good enough for microelectronics.

Infantile abstraction of the situation. Thunderfoot is known to speak outside his expertise all the time and be wrong about it. He has no shame about it either. If he's right more often than not it's only because so much of his history is debunking easy targets like creatinism, feminism, kickstarters, and outlandish claims no one believes

Back in the day when hi temp superconductors were first published I and a few friends at Hughes Connecting Devices Division made one for grins and giggles. Really easy to do. Turns out our first sample had many particles in the pellet that were superconducting and many that were not - so probing the pellet showed it to be essentially an insulator. But it floated and was pinned above a magnet in liquid nitrogen. Meisner effect without zero resistance since there was no continuous path for current to flow.

Eh. I'm sure LK 100 will fix the bugs.

The resistive heating will only take place at the weld. An imperfect conductor would spread that out over the whole length. A perfect conductor is going to just cram all that heat into the imperfect weld and pop.

Very well thought out and completely convincing rebuttals as to why he is wrong.

>>15608789
yet he thinks you cant turn a ceramic material (not sure how lead/copper is a ceramic material) into a usable wire.

Maybe he should consult some engineers? seems he doesnt know how to tie his shoes without an instruction manual.

>>15611324

>If you want widespread acceptance of high temp super conductors for usage in large scale projects such as high voltage, long distance electric transmission in commercial markets, it's probably not viable. Processing will never be akin to or as easy as glass fiber production.


are you a 12 year old? do you even know Ohms Law?

If you have a superconducting transmission wire, you dont need to transmit high voltages across long distances. You also don't need high voltage transformers or substations either. These all exist to deal with the losses of energy to heat in current transmission lines. With a superconducting wire you simply run as many amps as you want through it to push as much power to the other end as you want without any losses.

>>15622179
boomers already saw and experienced more crazy and weird shit than the one we will do (probably) also as you said lived in the twilight years of the American empire

>>15622357
>If you have a superconducting transmission wire, you dont need to transmit high voltages across long distances
Okay, how do we transmit electricity from the wind/solar farms to the places people live 3-500 miles away? How about the nuclear power plant 75 km to the cities? Also don't SCs have limitations to current throughput?

>You also don't need high voltage transformers or substations either
Ah yes, I must have forgot, industrial power generation systems naturally output 120V or 220V straight for your consumption.

>These all exist to deal with the losses of energy to heat in current transmission lines.
Of course industrial generators create voltage in the kV range and it gets stepped down several times onsite, at substations, and right in front of your property to 220/480 or higher depending on the type of property (in the US). But alas I'm explaining things to people that either don't care or are too retarded.

>With a superconducting wire you simply run as many amps as you want through it to push as much power to the other end as you want without any losses.
If you knew anything about SCs you would know that when you have a current flow there is a perpendicular magnetic field that is formed. Magnetic fields interfere with a SCs ability to act as a SC.

I must admit, I'm generally impressed, you fuckers are as slippery as a eel coated in silicone based lube while still retaining the ego of NDT without any actual credentials or experience to back it up. I still haven't heard, even if you can find a viable superconductor, how do you produce ceramic lines that are capable of inexpensive manufacturing and can be reliably built in increments more than a few mm. There are some cool applications for SCs but let's stop pretending like they are really going to make ground breaking society wide changes. They will continue to be relegated to niche applications for the foreseeable future because they are hard to make, join, and have lots of other limitations.

>>15622580
you transmit the electricity directly through the wire lol.

your examples for industrial applications are moot because those would be replaced with superconducting generators too. All those existing devices would be reworked or renderered obsolete.

>>15622580
bro, Im not a fucking scientist or engineer. Its technically possible to turn ceramics into wires, thats an engineering problem. Im sure someone will figure it out. The problem isnt "how do we turn a ceramic into a wire" the problem is "how do we build a room temp ambient pressure superconductor" once that is achieved Im sure various companies will find ways to commercialize it.

so is it real or not?
im a girl please just tell me honest

Honestly, the world's in a weirdly bleak timeline. LK99 is also hopium that people are desperately using their copium as currency for, because it feels on some days, that the entire species is going nowhere fast. In that sense, the craze around it starts to make more sense.
