That is very cool, thanks. I don't think it could be used for energy storage though.
Its major disadvantages come about from the fact that it is an extremely-high-energy active structure. It requires constant power input to make up energy losses and remain erect.
- marcosdumay 10y agoWikipedia used to have a much more elaborated explanation on them. A superconductive structure with evacuated rails wouldn't need energy to stay in place (always in theory - one would certainly need something active). An electromagnetic one will use a lot of power, but still much less than the amount stored. Sill, it's not something simple that one could deploy today.
