is it possible to make a superconductor out of banana peels and tampons ?

Devices could be made smaller. Assuming the price is not a factor and the material is as versatile as Copper then electrical wiring will become very thin. potentially embedded under the paint. Strong electric fields with all kind of gravity defying contraption could be built, imagine your self floating on high magnetic field in your sleep. Where the field is generated with supper conductive electromagnet that does not need electricity since it can work in a closed loop with minimal losses. Imagine cars driven by magnetic fields.\n\nThe is one old movie that I like called BrainStorm (Metro Golden Mayer) the movie is a scifi movie (1983) that show an interesting use of Room temperature SC for use as a small Brain wave (I/O) kind of sensitive receiver and transmitter.

A "fridge" in the sense you are speaking isn't realistic. If you really want something that cold, get some liquid nitrogen and go nuts.  It's not as cold as, say, liquid helium... but oxygen in the air will nicely dissolve into liquid nitrogen, and you don't have to keep it under any pressure.  If you want to create a fridge, the best way would be to create a vacuum on the inside and line it with copper (silver plated, ideally) pipes all over the place (for conduction). Cycle the liquid nitrogen through a compressor and through the pipes. But why? This would likely cost 3 or 4 grand to get something that actually works.

Yes.  It consists in sticking two metallic objects of different kind, usually a galvanized nail and a copper coin, in a potato or lemon. These two objects work as electrodes, producing an electrochemical reaction that generates a small amount of electricity.

I would say it is possible by serious computer modders.\n\nYou CANNOT submerge electronics in distilled water and still have them work. There are tons of chemicals and other oils on the surfaces of the computer that will introduce salinity and conductivity into water. Distilled water doesn't matter in the least.

yes, just take a conical mold, pour in some molten iron, and keep it in a magnetic field as it cools. north and sout poles WILL be opposite sides, but it could have a weird overall field.

you could sew flexible magnets into fabric. You may even be able to mount magnets into fabric like you would a button.  \n\nOK I GOTTA ASK... What are you making?

Yes it can be done, there are 2 ways to it\n1) - Man use energy on earth to cool the poles , say using a giantic fridge !!!\n2) An option that i though about was, y not block a part of the sunlight over the pole !!! ?, u don't have to use energy on earth, just block the sun rays from shining at the pole. Offcourse if u completely cut of light, the temp will drop drastically. Instead block a % of sunlight which is sufficient to cool the pole more , there by avoiding metling , and also sustain existing life !!!\n\ncoool huh

I agree that is is possible in some aspects. It would be impossible to avoid copper circuitry altogether (such as IC chip connections, etc.)\n\nElectricity travels through copper at 2/3 the speed of light. This slight gain in speed is slightly offset by the conversion from light to eletricity. However, this becomes trivial when you compare speeds. A single fiber optic cable can support data transfer rates of 10 Gb/sec or more. That is far beyond any personal computing requirements of today's computers.\nOptical fiber is also desirable because of it's electromagnetic immunity.

Any number of bio-chemicals which have only been analyzed from minute amounts but which would make great impact if they could be mass-produced as medicine.\n\nMonocrystalline high temperature (as in liquid N2) supra-conductor cables. Theoratically possible, in practice not quite yet achieved.\n\nElongated buckminster fullerene carbon cable. Again, only found in minimal experimental size yet, such a substance could open space for industrial use.

I have this very object. My foolish neighbor calls it an air humidifier, like he knows anything, ( he thinks we landed on the moon, I know crazy)\n     You can borrow it, but you have to come at night. My house is the one covered in tin foil and cloaked in the star trek special edition invisibility shield, with extra force field protons.

Here's a way to turn a common household chemical reaction into some fun.\n\nhttp://www.torgo.org/bpsubs/

Sure. Just make them out of aluminum. They did it before.

The resistance (ohms) is zero in a superconducting circuit.  Such a circuit will not create a current but will maintain indefinetly a current made in it. Approaching a steady magnet near a superconducting material will induce a current in it. There are projects for accumulating electricity in superconducting loops of many kilometers diameter for peak hours of electricity consommation.

Look up Tesla Coils on the internet, but be VERY careful with these devices. They are high voltage but a cool science fair project.
