Abstract
Belief in thermodynamics has forced superconductivity experts to forget basics of thermodynamics due to a contradiction of superconductivity phenomena to laws of thermodynamics. Because of this belief no one drew reader's attention during many years that the conventional theory of superconductivity contradicts to the second law of thermodynamics. The common belief that the superconducting transition occurs when the free energy of the superconducting state becomes less than of the normal state has provoked a false claim that a power source of a solenoid creates the energy of magnetization rather than of magnetic field. The authors of only a few books on superconductivity, mostly future Nobel prize winners, did not follow this false claim. No one for many years has noticed that the equality of free energies at the superconducting transition in the critical magnetic field cannot be obtained without contradicting the second law of thermodynamics. The Meissner effect violates the second law of thermodynamics because of the negative surplus work performed in the closed Gorter cycle. The desire to avoid contradiction of superconductivity phenomena with the second law of thermodynamics provoked the false thermodynamics of superconductors, contradicting the law of conservation of energy.
