Eric ,Would it be possible to drain the power from a super conducting wire making it at a zero state or do you believe there would be other reasons it would not work ?

Hi Russ,
I'll ask a friend who used to work on superconducting magnets and come back. As I understand it, you can have a very high current flowing in a superconductor but the only way to stop it is to break the circuit. You then get a big arc due to the 100's of kV if you have any reasonable inductance. To pulse a superconductor you would need a superconducting switch, which as far as I know doesn't exist. Anyway, neither do room temperature superconductors - yet.
Eric.
