It is fundamentally nothing different, only that the resistance is zero. You might have seen that a magnet falls slowly, like in a viscous fluid, when link it is falling through a copper tube. So, by building a generator that uses superconducting wires instead of copper wires, you end up with a higher efficiency, which is partly offset by the power you need to cool the superconductor down to when it reaches that superconducting state. | |
