Liquid nitrogen is used in the military versions of the Bybee Filters, I think. Jack Bybee used to treat the filters with liquid nitrogen in the past, but I don't think that he does it today. The material that he uses is related to a high temperature superconductor, and apparently it has some of the properties even at room temperature. There are more properties related to superconductivity than those usually listed in a handbook on superconductivity. Jack Bybee always maintains that the velocity of propagation (this is related to electron flow, but not exactly the same thing) is faster through his type of ceramic material than it is through a copper wire. Other physicists have agreed with him in internal correspondance. For the record, Jack Bybee was a consultant on superconductivity while working with Richard Feynman at Cal Tech, years ago. This is very 'trick' stuff, and I don't have a complete understanding of what is happening in some of these tweaks. I know enough physics not to disregard an effect, if someone finds a process or an effect that can't be explained by 19th century physics, which is what most engineers are taught in college undergraduate classes.
