They've been using this idea for years in hydro dams etc where there is not a 24/7 supply of energy. The idea is that you use surplus power to spin a heavy lump of (metal/concrete?) stored in a vacuum. When there is no electricity being generated you use the spinning object as a generator. Nice idea but some room temperature superconductors would help... -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
