Superconductors have virtually no restance to electricity, so can a copper 
wound motor core be replace with superconductive wire? And if it can, at 
what distance from a supercondutor is a magnet repelled (does it variey 
with the power of the magnet), and can high temp. supercondutors be cooled 
with hydrogen gas?
