Comment on Superconductivity without cooling?parent

Comments

From the electron's perspective, all superconductors are sort of perpetual motion machines. A perpetual motion machine is basically just any lossless kinetic system, so if you count electron flow in a loop of superconductor as a kinetic system, then it qualifies.

That kind of storage without the cooling requirements would be pretty useful...
