AI Thread Summary
There is currently no evidence of a functioning superconducting quenchgun being built, despite over twenty years since the initial theoretical papers were published. The discussion highlights a lack of experimental results or advancements in the field related to this concept. Participants note that previous research on the topic dates back to 1979, but no practical implementations have emerged. Efforts to find information on any constructed quenchguns have yielded no results. The conversation suggests that the topic remains largely theoretical with no practical applications realized.

Has anyone ever built a functioning superconducting quenchgun?

Or has the theory or practicality of it's operation ever been questioned or disproved?

I imagine that you have already done a Search on this. Did you get any results? They've had twenty years, since the paper was published, to try experiments and technology will have advanced a bit in that time. (A FORTRAN program did the calculations at the time and the dates it all)
 
Yes I have tried searching :smile:, couldn't find anything ever built.
The same guys were writing papers about it since 1979 though.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
