ABSTRACT:
An energy storage device which comprises at least a first object having a rotational mechanism which rotates around an axis and a surface which generates a magnetic field; at least a second object comprising a superconductor and having provided separately from said first object but facing said surface which generates a magnetic field; a device which provides a rotational energy to the first object by exerting an electromagnetic reaction to said first object; and a device which converts the rotational energy of the first object into an electric energy; provided that the first object is substantially levitated at its use, and that said first object uses no mechanical support device.
Also claimed are methods of converting energy, which comprise a method of converting an electric or a magnetic energy into a kinetic energy, and a method of converting a rotational energy into an electric energy, said methods taking advantage of flywheels being supported by levitation resulting from the interaction between a magnetic field and a superconductor, and not by a mechanical supporting device.
