Comments: Excellent page for initial explanation of how superconductivity works. Could be used as the introduction to a course unit on superconductivity theory.
2. http://www.mse.cornell.edu/engri111/superco.htm
Comments: Excellent page for
description of new superconducting materials. Has limited technical information
though.
3. http://www.can.cz/products.htm
Comments: Has information
regarding superconducting fault-current limiters. This is a sales site with
limited technical information. Does have a few good images though.
4. http://www.superconductorweek.com/
Comments: Web site for a research
body dealing strictly with superconductivity. Has excellent article on status
of research into high-temperature superconducting cables (Cold-temperature
cables also mentioned). Lots of information at this site!

Comments: Commercial site. Has some limited technical
information, and may be approachable for more details. Does have some
information on generators, fault current limiters, transformers, etc. Good
graphics…
