I had wondered what would happen to a superconducting device that was
carrying, ... say 10000 amps at a few volts and something went wrong
with the coolant. A previous posting mentioned something about some scorched
earth and they weren't talking about anything close to 100000 watts.
If they take the temperature all the way up to room temperature, these
devices have the potential to fail in a truly catastrophic way.
