Abstract:
A process based on application of a superconductor to an external force generated by a field selected from the group consisting of an electric field, a magnetic field, an electromagnetic field and a gravitational field, and by a change of said field with time,said process comprising processing an energy state of at least one superconductor by evaporating a chill gas atmosphere from a liquid chill agent in at least one closed vessel having at least one valve, wherein the at least one closed vessel is designed to accommodate an energy dE resulting from an application of the at least one superconductor in a superconducting state during at least one time interval of a process cycle, dt, wherein the at least one time interval of said process cycle comprises accommodating said energy dE by a heat capacity of a mass of one or more of the following constituents: (A) said chill gas atmosphere stemming from evaporation of said liquid chill agent, (B) said liquid chill agent used to chill the at least one superconductor, and (C) the at least one superconductor, wherein the at least one superconductor comprises at least one superconductive material, and increasing pressure of said chill gas atmosphere in the closed vessel followed by releasing stepwise at least a partial quantity of said energy, &dgr;dE, via an underisothermal release of a partial chill gas mass, &dgr;dm0V, from said chill gas atmosphere through the at least one valve during an operating time interval, &dgr;t.
