European scientists have created a new superconducting material
In the framework of the European research project Eurotapes developed cheaper and more efficient superconducting tape, which one day will be able to double the performance of wind turbines.
Eurotapes produced 600 feet of tape, said project coordinator Xavier Obradors. "This material, copper oxide, similar to the thread that holds 100 times more energy than pure copper. It is possible, for example, to make electrical cables or generate much more powerful magnetic field," he said.
Sixty million eight hundred ninety five thousand seven hundred eighty seven
When current passes through a conductor, such as copper or silver, part of it is lost as heat, and the distance these losses increase. In superconductivity the electrical resistance disappears in some metals when they are cooled to absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius).
Once using this material can produce a more powerful and lighter wind turbines that exceed twice the performance of current, says the coordinator Eurotapes.
To achieve zero energy loss cable enclosed in a tube, placed in liquid nitrogen, but this complex and expensive technology has not yet reached the stage of mass production. While energy companies are conducting pilot tests.
Eighty five million seven hundred thirty one thousand two hundred thirty five
Eurotapes is a project that brings together world leaders in the field of semiconductors from nine European countries: Austria, Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Slovakia and Spain. Core funding (20 million euros) allocated by the European Union. The aim of the project is to find a material that becomes a superconductor at room temperature that will allow for the transfer of energy over long distances with zero loss.
One solution to this problem offers Ivan Bozovic and his team from the National laboratory at Brookhaven (USA). Scientists are studying cuprate, substances composed of copper and oxygen. In conjunction with the strontium and some other elements they showed the properties of superconductors but did not require extremely low temperatures as conventional superconductors. published
