High Temperature Superconductor wire

The HTS wires AMSC manufactures today conduct over 150 times the electrical current of copper wire of the same dimensions, which dramatically reduces the size and weight of electrical equipment and significantly increases the power throughput of power cables. These characteristics offer product developers the ability to design components with HTS wire -- such as coils for industrial motors or generators -- that deliver much higher power density and can offer additional benefits such as reduced manufacturing and maintenance costs.

How long before this shows up in our stereo equipment?

Cool electric motors too.

The cryogenic cooling system power consumption is less than a few percent of the total losses in the machine.

Sounds like "snake oil" to me.

Just kidding... very interesting read... and this sounds like the the stuff I'd use if I ever made my own cables.

New turntable motors anyone?

Low Noise: HTS motors have lower sound emissions than conventional machines.

Seems safer than Tesla's attempt to charge the atmosphere.

Tesla Wireless and the Tunguska Explosion

"My apparatus projects particles which may be relatively large or of microscopic dimensions, enabling us to convey to a small area at a great distance trillions of times more energy than is possible with rays of any kind. Many thousands of horsepower can be thus transmitted by a stream thinner than a hair, so that nothing can resist."
