The power company I work for has been doing an EPRI study on Superconductor for power lines. After 5 years and millioms it was recently shelved. We could not make it work----and because of the piping needed it would be a sealed system---basically as a standard cable system....which I as a ham would like to see them on a shielded system.

BPL comes down to this. You add a broadband RF signal to the largest antenna grid in the world and they say it won't cause interference? GET REAL!

Getting to the point what part of this dead horse dont they get? No matter how you kick, prod, shove, bulldoze around, drage etc. Its a dead horse that wont get up even with a ton of TNT under it! "Its dead Jim!" Fork time!

Bet that speed will drop as soon as they try to cut speed to cut down noize.

From the 50 user per section that already makes a falsehood about helping the rual market.

After the New York power outage there is more talk about implementing superconducting wire to lessen the load on power grids. Anyone care to speculate how that might affect BPL?


Conductivity of the wires isn't a factor in the problems with BPL. It's an issue of shielding and the inherent nature of power lines to radiate high frequencies, which BPL uses.

Replacing the power lines with coaxial cable or as others have mentioned running fiber with the power lines are solutions.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7755331 Fri, 22 Aug 2003 13:14:47 EDT Re: Superconducting Wire for BPL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754859 AthlGrond :

Since superconducting wire capable of carrying those high of loads over those great of distances does not exist (let alone superconducting wire that functions at temperatures found in the habitable portions of the earth) it will not affect it at all. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754859 Fri, 22 Aug 2003 12:28:03 EDT Re: Superconducting Wire for BPL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754854 David95037 :

Easy answer, the consumer gets to pay!!!

Not sure how you would string a superconducting cable on power poles. Guess the idea came out of the BPL group (about the same amount of sense).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754845 Fri, 22 Aug 2003 12:26:09 EDT Re: Superconducting Wire for BPL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754836 Microhard3 : Or better yet how much will this cost? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754836 Fri, 22 Aug 2003 12:24:53 EDT Superconducting Wire for BPL? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7754747 ronpin : After the New York power outage there is more talk about implementing superconducting wire to lessen the load on power grids.
