Feasible for a given value of feasible. I think the high tempreture super conductors still need to be chilled to several hundred degrees below zero which makes them difficult to deploy.
This is what made me curious that they were mentioning electric cars. I'd have thought that chilling an electric car engine that much would be incredibly energy expensive.
Chilling the motor on an electric car would be expensive, technically difficult and make the whole thing inefficient. Also, I'm not sure I'm a big fan of liquid nitrogen spraying all over the road after a wee fender bender.
it's either future based hyperbole (At some point we'll make a superconductor that can operate at room tempreture leading to better electric cars) or we are missing something.
Not sure I know anyone who knows enough about to find out. (Apart from my pal in China but I don't want to ask him in case he gets arrested).
