I sure wish people knew just what a great mind for problem solving he had, and just how important some of his inventions are , He should be the one to win the next Nobel prize in my and many others opinions. his patent Superconductor Compositions predictable @ high tempratures. is just that ,it predicts what temp that the compounds & elements chosen will operate at. this should take a lot of guess work out of inventing the next generation of superconductive applications.for a wide variety of applications.he did not invent a widget he invented the formula to invent the widget ect,so I hope the scientific community see's this for what it is a formula to assist the future development of superconductive wires that operate at room temp. thanks for the note Joel I will mention this to my mom hi Joel my father Daniel Nepela moved up to wash to work on his patent,he died jan 24th 2009 he new his patent was on the way and came in the mail 3 or 4 days after he passed,he still had his great outlook on life till the last moments.

He had a great mind, an interesting perspective on life, and made me laugh (a lot!). What was he doing in WA? May I ask how old was he when he died? Good luck to you! Joel Hi Keith, Sorry to hear about your Dad – he and I were friends in our IBM days. He had a great mind, an interesting perspective on life, and made me laugh (a lot!). What was he doing in WA? May I ask how old was he when he died?

Good luck to you! Joel

I think MCF right now a big expenditure in energy is keeping the superconductors they do use cool. I don't think it's so easy to insulate and cool the big magnets when they're right next to a big old doughnut of plasma. It might be helpful if they could do it at higher temperatures with less cooling expenditure.[/quote]

Also it seems to look like a ray gun or maybe a hairdryer. apparently it is an old radiation detector which still has a following. Also it seems to look like a ray gun or maybe a hairdryer.
