silver coils are superior, perhaps we can make some argument where aluminum can work better or be more appropriate in a loud speaker or microphone ;) but i'm not gonna be the one to argue with The Manhattan Project Scientists ... I'd rather see/hear the results but R&D isn't cheap, this article is awesome.

I'm under the impression that we used aluminum coils in place of copper in the '60s as result of cost of materials. Would be interesting to calculate the losses incurred if they would have used copper in those calutron coils as opposed to Treasury silver at 1.6 billion kilowatt-hours, how much in I²R losses saved using silver?
