{{template:site specific definition}}

In advanced AP systems energy storage and conversion is more clearly distinct than in e.g. todays bulk electric accumulators.

Energy storage cells need [[chemomechanical converters]] or [[elektromechanical converters]] <br>
and often some form of [[mechanical macroscopification]] to form a complete system.

AP systems can often avoid high energy densities which always are potentially dangerous
since energy can be transmitted quite fast and efficiently (e.g. with [[Mechanical energy transmission cables|energy transport cables]])

Cells may be have various sizes sub equal or super [[microcomponent]] size.

== Forms ==

=== for [[chemomechanical converters]] ===

* radicals zip cells
* micro to nano sized high pressure hydrogen capsules
* nitrogen based compounds cells (avoiding explosiveness)
* reactants choosen for maximal activation energy to increase safety (allowed by "the force focus [[scaling laws|scaling law]]")
* many more ...

=== for [[entropomechanical converters]] ===

* chainmolecule stretcher cells
* more dense systems (working with gasses?)

=== for [[elektromechanical converters]] ===
 
'''capacitor cells:''' Todays capacitors already do a good job.

=== no conversion  ===

'''flywheels cells:''' Like in all other cases an additional gear transmission (mechanomechanical conversion) is possible.
Scaringly high power-spikes are possible.

'''energy elastic springs cells:''' lower energy density than chemomechanical converter cells but faster and more efficient.

== Notes ==

Cryogenic hydrogen storage is inherently macroscopic.
Nano-sized capsules have a huge surface to mass ratio making individual [[thermal isolation]] effectively infeasible. <br>
[Todo: discuss (known) potential losses of cryogenic storage in an AP product]. <br>
Advanced AP systems can easily produce cryogenic temperatures via [[diamondoid heat pump system]]s.

* Long range high power energy transportation might be better done [[Mechanical energy transmission cables#Transporting chemical energy|mechanical]]
