But these days, most agencies are looking into supercapacitors. I read about buses that have supercapacitors for acceleration. Which might be better in a sense, though. But at the current stage, flywheels are still probably better.There is also an experimental system of inducing a powerful current into a superconductive solenoid(sealed in a a "refrigerator" of sorts), and a device which can tap into the current somehow, and create an AC current so that it can be coupled to the drive system without touching the refrigerator, and messing up the insulation from heat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic_energy_storage |
