Electricity storage thanks to superconductivity




by iota » 09/12/06, 13:57

When an electric current is established in a superconductive coil * brought below the critical temperature, the resistance of the superconductive conductor being zero, the current circulates indefinitely, the magnetic field remains constant and the electric supply can be cut: then stored electricity in magnetic form for a theoretically infinite duration.
When the superconducting coil is closed on an external resistive circuit, the current is then released in a very short time.

* Also called "superconducting storage ring" or "superconducting torus"

Yeah but the concern is what energy does it take to keep the coil under its critical temperature? :?

Yes, this is partly what prompts the search for superconductors at room temperature, energy transport, processor power, EH magnetic motors yes ...

Imagine, we could charge a ring with lightning!

Hello

If you have lightning in stock put me a dozen side to do battery charge tests :P

It’s not bad lightning to refuel but it’s even more random than wind : Evil:

we're not there yet, but it's enough to make a network of lightning rods

we already see the applications on phone style batteries to store more electrons, but in capacitor, it's quite different ...
good reading
I can snoop around on the net, I can't find a follow-up to this story, either it is too huge and destabilizing for our dear companies which hold the economy or it is bluff, but I doubt ...
if someone has info on this, I mean capacitor in superconductivity.
continuation and end
I make a mistake by saying condenser, it is rather ring of electron storage in superconductivity,
especially pass this link, it also relates to the voltaic, the wind, etc ...

Too bad we don't hear all of it.

For those who have not listened, and for Remundo that it might interest in connection with Desertec, it is, via a superconductivity maintained at a relatively low temperature (produced by Peltier elements), to store electricity produced everywhere in reels transportable everywhere, a storage reel of 1 m in diameter being able to be enough to supply sufficient electricity to a city for 4 days for example.

Thank you for finding the Hifly thread; concerning your remark on the distant future of this technique, I draw your attention to the fact that the cable implemented by Nexans is not made of carbon nanotubes, it therefore requires cryogenic insulation at -196 ° c to ensure superconductivity. If the cable were made of carbon nanotubes, a significantly lower temperature would probably be sufficient and would no doubt allow larger applications. I suppose that the manufacturing of this kind of cables is not yet perfected but it only takes a competent and innovative industrialist to change the situation.

Like the super stacks of Yoko Tsuno in "The Fire of Wotan": accumulate lightning to return 5 at once against the bad guys.

Now indeed, a researcher in superconductors had told me that they had a looped circuit which for a few years, lost hardly a few%.

to refrigerate? Yes. Would supra at room temperature be better? Not just for that.

Unfortunately going from -270 to -1xx in less than 100 years does not prove that there will ever be supra beyond 0. But what is certain is that the prospects are sufficient for the money flows freely for research in this area.
