Summary
A cutaway view of a Superconductive Magnetic Energy Storage torus. The electric current (green) flows around an inner toroidal winding of superconductive wire. This generates a powerful magnetic field in the empty space inside the winding (magenta) that stores the energy of the device. The action of the magnetic field on the very same current that creates it gives a powerful outward force (red) on that current and the substance through which it flows. To counteract this force and keep the superconductive winding from bursting, a thick supportive jacket of strong material is wrapped around the winding.
