This is one of those very rare "build it and they will come" technologies. All he has to do is make some material samples and send them to the right people making supercolliders at CERN, MRIs and turbines at GE, etc. Those people can trivially characterize the materials for their use case and if he's truly made room temperature superconductors, he'll have an entire horde of customers trying to throw money at him. Even if he can only effectively manufacture the geometries that 1% of those potential clients need, it'd still be a multi-billion dollar a year business.
Unless someone here is planning on investing, it's a complete nonstory. Let's see the goods!
- p1esk 3y agoA typical response to this is "I need 20M to make those samples. Gimme." And a response to that is often "Hmm, there's 95% chance this guy is full of shit, but also a 5% chance it's gonna be big." To investors, it's all about estimating whether the ratio is 95:5 (good enough), or worse.
