Superconductors in electric motors have two critical limits-current limits and magnetic field limits-beyond which they lose their zero-resistance state, making it impractical to shrink the motor by simply increasing the supplied current. The supply current could also be limited (batteries/hydrogen). I assume cooling requirements and shafting is another limit. It would be interesting to know which is a driving limit in this application. Anyone know? I did some research and it seems like “critical current” would be the driver. At that current the material begins to lose its superconductivity.
Traditional electric motors with coils and magnets (or even just coils) are 95-98% efficient. I'm sure adding a liquid Helium cooling cycle for that 1% extra will absolutely cut it... Like seriously, what did they smoke at Airbus?
Superconductors, even cryogenic ones, come with a size and weight saving too. I'm guessing that it's that benefit they are after instead of efficiency.
Well except when it loses its superconductivity, then all that current suddenly encounters resistance and generates an enormous amount of heat in a short timespan... Which can cause it to explode.
Yes Airbus. You got this

It’s like an mri machine with the supercooled. Coils

I’m confused. The press release and description say it would be cooled by hydrogen at -253°C, but the video says it’s using helium. Is that an error?
They probably explore the possibility of using batteries instead of hydrogen.
This will stop engine fires very good invention airbues and toshiba

Nice
Nice, where is the cooling?
Nice😊
Não seria possivel fabricar o A380 só com 2 motores Ge9x ???
Tirar os dois motores das pontas ??? Iria melhorar em tudo.
Who agrees that airbus is way better than Boeing
Tbh , the two are equals
I love when there is diversity!!
Not me
I agree that they’re both good
See Boeings fall apart mid air and airbuses are more expensive than Boeings
Great job........
nice.
CS-E 510 compliance will be fun
Nice 👍🏼
Wonderful 😊😊
Great job keeping the A380😊
How is it supposed to compete with regular engines on the market? Or do they have a plan to give it a hell of subsidies?
Do not leave a340
Extremely cool !
Its coop but i still prefer boeing =)
You can doo this
Takes a lot of energy to cool to minus 250! I hope you can take off, before there is no energy left anymore!
A supercool(ed) engine concept
Toshiba British Intelligence?
0:17 cryogenic cooling system...
Click brrr, I'm outta here.
Despite being a Boeing fan this is nice.but Boeing is way more overpowered and strong though
Too expensive
Airbus > Boeing
Wrong cnn journalist.boeing>airbus
Airbus=Boeing
@@Klian-IF boeing>airbus
Nice, but first world problems
They are aircraft manufacturers genius, they make aircraft let the red cross handle the "world problems" 😂😂😂
Where is the power coming for cooling this shit
