Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to efficiently store high-capacity electrical energy by supplying very small amounts of electricity through a strong magnetic material. This results in less energy being lost during turning on or off. Additionally, there are ways to make this switch work quickly while still maintaining its effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text relates to the challenge of achieving both sufficient mechanical strength and durability in a superconducting magnetic energy storage system. Current methods involve using expensive materials and complex processes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased costs associated with the production of the superconducting inductor.

Embodiment Construction

[0036] In the present invention, a bulk RE-Ba--Cu--O superconductor (RE is a rare earth such as Y, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) is a copper oxide superconductor of which the main phase is REBa.sub.2Cu.sub.3Oy with RE.sub.2BaCuO.sub.5 as a secondary phase. A bulk RE-Ba--Cu--O superconductor may include Ag for the purpose of increasing the mechanical strength. Furthermore, the bulk superconductor is manufactured by a melt process. Required performance as a connector material for a mechanical persistent current switch cannot be obtained with RE-Ba--Cu--O superconductors manufactured by a sintering method.

[0037] For a method of impregnating resin into a bulk RE-Ba--Cu--O superconductor made by a melt process, the technique according to Japanese Patent (Granted) Publication No. 3144675 in that the resin is impregnated into a bulk superconductor by immersing it in molten resin under reduced pressure can be applied.

[0038] For a resin which is impregnated into a bulk superconductor,
