This time, straight from a patent granted to a blockchain company, with no accompanying paper or proof.

Edit: after reviewing the patent, and as pointed out by @floofloof@lemmy.ca, this is an incredible amount of BS. The patent's initial date is Feb 2020, issue date Dec 2021. It has no proof, because it claims to speculatively apply a possible theory by someone else, onto how to make a flexible Type II semiconductor out of a Type I semiconductor, in case this ever happens to be possible with that theory. Basically a patent troll waiting to see if someone happens to make possible the elements they've used in the patent, then jump in and claim an application.

Honestly, didn't know speculative patents like this were possible.

I think that's supposed to be field lines, going "through the material" where it isn't a diamagnetic (or there is none, or the aliphatic filler), allowing for "some" field in order to reduce the total field so the Type I superconductor doesn't become saturated, which is supposed to bring it into room-temperature range?

But we already know everything goes through the hole.
