#2AIUI, viable room temperature superconductors are an existential threat to the coal & gas industries.
Worse / better yet, they'd massively disrupt the existing geopolitical power and wealth distribution.

Wasn't there some airplane crashes that had engineers on the flight that worked for Freescale or some other company in the superconductor market? Funny how those stories just faded away with few questions about how the airliner crashed. I am not trying to make a conspiracy theory, but they should have taken separate flights.

Snopes doesn’t indicate this is likely to be true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mh370-patent-disappearance...

#5I continue to believe this is today’s equivalent of “red mercury”: crazy pseudoscience given the imprimatur of the U.S. military to distract and confuse adversaries.

Heh.
Also, Freescale does semiconductors. The patent was about wafer yields. Not superconductors :-)

It seems unlikely any serious adversary would be taken in by this.
I think it's more likely a case of gross managerial incompetence where superiors were taken in by a crackpot making claims far outside of his and their ability to evaluate.

#8The problem I have in this, is that history is littered with things which without hindsight were crazy-batshit-ideas, and in a world of IPR and patents, definitely do get flagged as wierd. But.. then turn out to be useful.
Liquid metal refrigerators using electromagnetics to send the fluid around instead of just pumping ammonia? Thats .. crazy. But also, What Szilard and Einstein patented: safer by far, no moving parts in the working refrigerant fluid.
Directed beam weapons: notoriously the 'kill a goat' test for the BRL and Navy tired of loony inventors, but actually the ground work of Radar and like activity according to Robert Buderi (yes, this is a gloss, but there are linkages. The forces people assumed RF beams were weapons, not detection systems)
Infra-Red for detection of the enemy. No more stupid than what they had, which is sound, giant sounding dishes to hear bombers. Turns out its harder to do IR than RF, but didn't stop Lord Cherwell obsessing about it, to the detriment of other science initiatives, but NOW IR is a stable of all kinds of things.
These UFO patents may contain ideas which make sense in limited fields, or huge fields, or no fields.
(obviously, if they are based on perpetual motion flawed physics it tends to no fields)

In all of those cases the inventions sounded crazy And no one had really tried it before. A lot of smart people have been working on plasma physics with the goal of controlled fusion for 70 years. HTS research has been ongoing for nearly as long. Suddenly one guy who speaks like a crackpot has discovered things no one else has thought of? Occam’s Razor.

ew Snopes, that site's a propaganda rag
