Yes. With a motor you could make it much smaller for the same amount of power and at a greater efficiency. Again, there's experiments afoot with cryogenic superconducting motors (with the ultima… (View Post)

Er, yes. And/or a generator. Would improve, eg, wind turbine efficiencies by as much as 50% as they don't need to be optimised for a particular speed. There was even a plan to make a wind turbin… (View Post)
