- TL;DR Summary
- If the goal of achieving a room temperature superconducting cable were to fully succeed , would there not always be an explosion risk?
In a future supposed “room temperature” superconducting cable that is carrying a large current (I ), would there not always be a risk of explosion if part of the cable accidentally reached a higher critical temperature so that this part suddenly developed a resistance (R) and all the power would heat the cable following the I2 R law?
