Last year there was a lecture from a scientist leading in superconductor research in my materials science class. I don't remember his name, he was German tho. He said his team has the know-how to build a room temperature superconductor in the next 10 years. Don't know how he came to this conclusion but he showed a model train levitating around a track cooled with LN2 so that was cool.

Nah, you will get couple millions from the patent if you are lucky to keep the rights. In more realistic scenario your work will be mostly owned by the investors or the company that you work for...

Unless you already have some wealth to afford the equipment to produce the final product and fund research or have really strong footing to negotiate good terms and not get ejected from the deal later. In that case congrats, but still not near trillion anyway.

Making billion dollar business is expensive as hell, you need money to make money.

OP's picture is not really related to superconductors, it probably pictures aerogel being so light you can lift it with that wheat. Some aerogels are even lighter than air and float in room temperature.

You have no fucking idea how basic research works nowadays - any relevant breakthroughs in these highly complex, interdisciplinary fields won't be attributed to a single person or even group. Supranational organizations provide hundreds of billions to make research even possible.

It's literally impossible to "discover" superconductivity on your own in your spare time at home by accident.
The only thing a person or company could patent is an unique way to produce those magnets at competitive prices.

While I agree with your general sentiment I would not word it so strongly. There is still some small chance to win the lottery with unorthodox approach. Take fusion research for example, at the forefront you have things like ITER that are bottomless black holes sucking hundreds of millions euros and requiring multiple countries to participate, but in the field there are also companies with mare tens of millions investment doing laser confinement and even small one-person operations experimenting with exotic polywell geometries that could also have a chance. Not saying that they will, as no one knows where the solution is, but there is a small chance that one of the smaller companies will find it.

Engineering student here. Yes, we definitely inject synthetic materials with hydrogen gas. You're absolutely right. We want to make sure it has a decent chance of exploding horribly. Ever since the success of the Hindenberg we've been striving towards bigger and better shitstorms and I think we're finally on the cusp of something good here.
