“The metamaterial should be able to increase the magnetic force without increasing the electric current in the source coil,” Urzhumov said. “The phenomenon of magnetostatic surface resonance could allow magnetic levitation systems to increase the mass of objects being levitated by one order of magnitude while using the same amount of electricity.”

well, if such a thing ever exists they will... but prediction is much easier than production, as EEStor has shown us.

Looks like another Lenspie "perpetual motion" device.

I motion that DGDanforth delete this entire thread before Lenspie reads this.

good stuff Paul

Josephson relation:
Voltage between two superconducting grains(layers) joined (Josephson coupled) by weak link is proportional to time dependence of their phase difference

Superconductor -> Current with no voltage
Insulator -> Voltage with no current

Bi-directional ultrafast electric-field gating of interlayer charge transport in a cuprate superconductor

Light-Induced Superconductivity in a Stripe-Ordered Cuprate

A formula to predict superconducor critical temperature is pretty impressive stuff.

This paper has given me some wacky ideas about superconduction.

I might post them - but then the kooks would be all over me even more than normal. Oh hell, I will post them in code and see what happens.

The paper points to stripes of electrons and holes. Then it gives some kind of hand waving gibberish theory.

The holes would be pretty good at helping the electrons stay in a row.

So why do the electrons have to move to transfer energy?

Why not a bucket brigade of wave functions coupling to transfer energy? This is loss less energy transfer by definition. I kind of like this wacky idea developed from the ideas in Mead's book.

Paul,

Leave the kookiness to me. That way it is in character. Besides, you have your title to protect. (-:

I’ve always thought that Cubic CMBT can be viewed as a system with interfaces within the CMBT crystal lattice, with alternating planes of Ba (and Ba replacement atoms) & oxygen and Ti (and Ti replacement atoms) & oxygen. The electronic system that describes each of these planes is quite different, with the electron density in the ‘titanium plane’ being delocalized and somewhat shared among the Ti and O atoms and the electron density in the ‘barium plane’ found almost exclusively on the O atoms. (see http://www.theeestory.com/posts/228143)

What if the very dilute paramagnetic dopants in the Ti layer served as focal points for mesoscopic superconducting vortices?

And what if these vortices were linked through Ba layers, each serving as a Josephson junction?

And what if energy is stored in those Ba layers?

From the link above to ‘Josephson energy’ -

In superconductivity, the Josephson energy is the potential energy accumulated in the Josephson junction when a supercurrent flows through it. One can think about a Josephson junction as about a non-linear inductance which accumulates (magnetic field) energy when a current passes through it. In contrast to real inductance, no magnetic field is created by a supercurrent in Josephson junction --- the accumulated energy is a Josephson energy.

For more see Superconducting Qubits and the Physics of Josephson Junctions.
(Consider that the oscillation may be at THz frequencies.)

When applied to HT superconductors, the descriptive phrase used in the literature for such an arrangement is ‘Intrinsic Josephson Junction.’

Superconductivity as a atomic scale meta material

Stripes of electrons - going nowhere - shuttling energy

Study the separation of charge and energy. Voltage is the frequency of the electrons wave function. Energy can transfer through wave function coupling - resonant coupling at the electron level.

Normal conductivity has no to very limited wave function coupling - it is electron mass transport. The higher frequency wave function is carried in the mass of the electron down the wire.

Superconductivity has no to very limited mass transport. The higher frequency wave function readily couples to the next electron in the stripe. The electron voltage radiates down the conductor as the wave functions couple.

Well - it makes for a good story and its wacky enough that it might even be right.

Complete and utter bullshit.
"Meta-material" has became a buzz-word. Stupid idiots think that there is some kind of new science in there when in reality the whole point of meta-materials that there is absolutely no new science in there. And no, there is absolutely no way for meta-materials do what that article seems to be claiming they do.
But ferromagnetics do increase magnetic field, but they are not meta-materials.

What - no ridicule of coupling wave functions? You guys are slipping.

Exciton-polariton mediated superconductivity

In order to evidence experimentally the light-mediated superconductivity, one could measure the in-plane differential photoconductivity of the microcavity. The carriers need to be injected in the n-doped quantum well from metallic contacts. The polariton condensate may be created by resonant optical pumping. The sign of differential photoconductivity is expected to change from negative to positive at the onset of superconductivity.

In conclusion, we propose a new mechanism to achieve superconductivity, based on microcavity polaritons. A Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons is offered as a mediator for the interactions between electrons in a specially engineered device. The magnitude of attraction increases linearly with the condensate density, allowing for an external control of the binding energy, and therefore of the critical temperature. With devices that have demonstrated polariton BEC up to room temperature, our findings suggest that exciton-polaritons could be promising candidates to achieve high-temperature superconductivity in a semiconductor structure, with critical temperatures only limited by that of the BEC.
