I have more questions, why are you not using silver, around 106% better conductance of electricity, but also a better conductor of heat?

And cooling, lots of big electrical plant uses H2 for a cooling medium as it has about 22 times better heat transfer than air - I can see the peroblems, but you can't light up 100% H2, it's when it gets some air with it is the problem.

I actually have a bucket load more, I am Elec Eng/Func Safety/Systems Integrator/Embedded guy and many years ago did my final engineering project on a software package to design high frequency inductors optimised for weight or efficiency, for space use. So all in all I am super interested to see how you go and what you can squeeze out. Will you run a blog or update of some kind?

May your end copper (silver) be short, if you have any.
