The idea here is to transmit energy by capsule transport of chemical energy storage cell
through special chemical energy transmission cables.
Transport inside the cables happens at potentially high speeds in solid state inside a sheath of
stratified shear bearings (superlubricating) that acts as a ultra low friction rail system.
The cables are tightly packed with energy storage capsules.
There is no air in the small voids that are left. Instead there is a very good vacuum.
Similar transport systems to this one include:
- Mechanical energy transmission cables
- Global microcomponent redistribution system
- Diamondoid heat pipe system
For higher safety this could be combined with entropical energy transmission. This way a ripping cable won't lead to fires and maybe even explosions but instead freeze over.
Chemical energy transmission like this has several advantages over (not superconducting) electrivcal energy transport.
See: Reasons for APM#The end of electrical energy transport?! (wiki-TODO: copy the advantage bullet points over)
Thus chemical energy transmission like this could eventually some day replace most of the high power electrical energy transmission of today (2021)
Questions
- Thickness of the cable - transmittable aerial power density
