Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System "SMES"

DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv

The Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System (SMES) is a system that can store and discharge electricity continuously as needed. Superconductivity is the flow of electric current without electrical resistance and is achieved when electrical resistance is naturally eliminated by cooling certain elements and chemical compounds. In a superconductive state, a constant magnetic field is continuously produced even if electricity is conducted, and as a result, electrical energy can be stored as magnetic energy.

When SMES is used in factories, it can be used as a backup electricity source that can compensate for load damage caused by an instantaneous voltage drop due to lightning or other factors.

Another feature of this system is that it can reliably supply power even in locations where the frequency fluctuates because it can also support drastic load changes.

Chubu Electric Power and Furukawa Electric are establishing SMES system that can supply 10,000 kilowatts of power.

@johnb003 its actually much cheaper than milk, only $0.06 a Liter and it lasts for only a few minutes

[matafuckas]

im sure if you also get a super fluid that is also magnetic. like murcury, then you combine these technologies, in someway to keep that super fluid at maximum speeds then you would have the beginings of a flying saucer!!!!! maybe...

For really long term storage, this might be efficient from a purely electrical perspective, but how long will the coolant last before it has to be refilled? I've heard liquid nitrogen is about as cheap as milk but how long does the liquid nitrogen last in the system before evaporating?

some physicists predict that the future of energy storage is storing and discharging magnetic fields instead of electricity.

@unvanquishableone they are not as efficient

[unvanquishableone]

why not use comressed air tanks for energy storage. they are lightweight and can last for many years.

i would like to speak to the patent holder, i have a few ideas for distribution and improving function for production

Magnetic energy restore system to make electricity can go on all day, and all night 100% way better than solar panels or wind turbines.

Imagine the possibilities of superconducting coils - Energy transfer with minimal losses across vast distances, memory storage with huge life cycle.. And probably much more... (not free energy)
