The storage capacity is also limited by the superconductor's critical current. I imagine everything is fine until you add that extra bit of current that causes the material to switch out of superconductivity and all the concentrated energy has to find an escape real quick...
- chaorace 3y agoSounds like an energy weapon to me!
- gattr 3y agoThis (unplanned loss of superconductivity) sometimes happens to accelerator magnets in LHC. To prevent stuff from melting/blowing up, there's an elaborate protection system integrated ([1]).
