Superconducting magnet motor

[Pirate88179]

The wind is caused, to my knowledge, ultimately by the sun.  The motion of the planets are just examples of the left over energy imput from the intial "big bang" or whatever event you want to call it, with very high mass in a very low friction environment.

I think I see what you are getting at.  Use whatever money, energy, etc to construct a superconducting magnet motor and see if you can get o.u.  Then, back engineer it to reduce the costs...whatever. Interesting proposal.  My gut feeling is that, one could get closer with superconducting magnets than with our usual assortment, but, I'll bet we would get ever so close to the edge, but not cross it.  Maybe I am wrong.  I base this on nothing in particular except the way nature always seems to want "balance" and equilibrium.  I would be very interested in your results if you try to do this.  I think, for a short term experiment, the costs would not be that high.  So what if you can only super cool them for 30 minutes or so. I think you would find your answers and, if it works, then concentrate on spending more money for better insulated containers, etc.  Very interesting idea.

Yes, you are right.

I was thinking of a pulse motor that uses electromagnets that attracts a silicon steel stator.
Such a motor can be pretty strong but it doesn't require much more current in the coils when loaded down.
But if the coils creating the magnetism were supercooled then in theory it should take almost no current to attract the rotor.
The whole motor doesn't need to be supercooled, just the coils, and it might be cheaper and simpler to make it this way.

So, almost no power is needed to reach a high field in a pulse motor that is using supercooled coils and it can deliver great
torque and speed. The shaft is connected to a generator that delivers plenty of current output.
Almost no power in and plenty of power out!!! Why shouldn't this work in theory? Where's the catch???
