Hi everyone,
I was wondering a little about superconductive electromagnets. Somewhere, I heard that Carbon Nanotubes had special properties, one of which is that they're superconductors (something to do with some quantum effect or another).
Anyways, I was wondering, could you make a superconductive electromagnet out of a CNT? If you can, could you increase the power of the magnet by increasing the amount of electricity that goes through it?
Ultimately, I was just wondering if it would be hypothetically possible to create a hovercraft using carbon nanotube superconductive electromagnets to run on special roads with fixed electromagnets. The steering would be done by tilting the nanotubes on the bottom of the hovercraft.
Just hypothetically, would that be possible? Not taking into account the gigantic expense that would be.
Thanks
