You could start with a thin steel cylinder packed with lanthinum powder and hydrogen in the appropriate ratio, chill it, then heat another cylinder and quickly shove the cool one inside. Then repeat until you reach the desired pressure. 14:42 < docl> Since the ends would be capped, it wouldn't be useful for superconducting power lines, but there are other uses, like maglev with the Meissner effect 16:17 -!- Hooloovoo [~Hooloovoo@hax0rbana.org] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 16:19 -!- Hooloovoo [~Hooloovoo@hax0rbana.org] has joined #hplusroadmap 16:50 -!- nyx62 [~nyx@2800:200:f580:46fa:319b:633:c021:1e1a] has quit [Quit: Client closed] --- Log closed Sun Sep 05 00:00:58 2021
