  A global power network perhaps, lossless motor efficiency?

    Frictionless bearings... Isn't it also thought that superconductors can carry heat without loss?

    ... and whatever happened to that rotating superconducting spacecraft project? Sounds like it would be a lot easier to test that "crazy?" notion.
