hah. they mean bulk carbon nanotubes. they take a metal substrate and coat it in carbon nanotubes to improve its properties. but the individual tubes are small and completely misaligned. to build a single nanotube coil large enough to power a spark plug would cost so much.... think hundreds of thousands of dollars of lab work. that is definitely what they are referring to in their marketing when they talk about "super-conductor"... in certain instances a single carbon nanotube (not bulk shake nanotubes) comes close to acting like a super-conductor but its not really accurate to call it a super-conductor. and calling bulk nanotube shake coated wire a super-conductor is kind of a joke... definitely better than most coils though.
