| Re: Superconducting Wire for BPL? said by ronpin : 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. |
