Abstract:
1. A molten dielectric capacitor energy storage system for storing and providing energy to a connectable load, said molten dielectric capacitor energy storage system comprising: an outer shell defining a hollow interior; at least one first conductive electrode having a first conductive terminal, and a plurality of first conductive plates, said first conductive terminal being exterior of said outer shell, said first conductive plates being parallel with each other and sequentially connectable to said at least one first conductive electrode, said first conductive plates being locatable in said hollow interior of said outer shell; at least one second conductive electrode having a second conductive terminal, and a plurality of second conductive plates, said second conductive terminal being exterior of said outer shell, said second conductive plates being parallel with each other and sequentially connectable to said at least one second conductive electrode, said second conductive plates being disposed in alternation with said first conductive plates, said second conductive plates being locatable in said hollow interior of said outer shell; a dielectric material consisting of a nanomatrix material and a molten ferroelectric material, said dielectric material being located in said hollow interior of said outer shell, said nanomatrix material being opal, said molten ferroelectric material being molten sodium nitrite; and a temperature control system for maintaining the temperature of the ferroelectric material in a molten phase, said temperature control system being at least one heating element configured to heat said dielectric material, said at least one heating element being fixable to an inner shell located in said hollow interior of said outer shell; wherein said second conductive plates being adjacent said first conductive plates defining a gap therebetween.
