Abstract
An insulating device for insulating a useable space from an external environment, with an inner shell which borders a useable space and which is surrounded by an outer shell, the inner shell being movably accommodated in the outer shell and delimiting an insulating space with the outer shell, and the inner shell being assigned a superconductor is assigned to the inner shell, and with a magnet assigned to the outer shell, which magnet enables a force-transmitting interaction with the superconductor for the contactless provision of supporting forces for the inner shell.
Claims11
An insulating device for insulating a useable space from an external environment, having an inner shell which bounds a useable space and which is surrounded by an outer shell, the inner shell being movably accommodated in the outer shell and delimiting an insulating space with the outer shell, and the inner shell being assigned a superconductor, and with a magnet assigned to the outer shell, which magnet enables a force-transmitting interaction with the superconductor for the contactless provision of supporting forces for the inner shell.
The insulating device according to 1, wherein the inner shell is bottle-shaped and has an opening for the useable space, the bottle-shaped outer shell being connected to the inner shell in a sealing manner in the region of a mouth opening of the bottle-shaped outer shell.
A method for producing an insulating device having an inner shell which bounds a useable space and which is surrounded by an outer shell, the inner shell being movably accommodated in the outer shell and delimiting an insulating space with the outer shell, and the inner shell being assigned a superconductor, and with a magnet assigned to the outer shell, which magnet enables a force-transmitting interaction with the superconductor for the contactless provision of supporting forces for the inner shell, wherein the inner shell is produced by a method from the group:
- producing the inner shell by wrapping a winding form with one or more tape materials which are at least partially made of superconductor material or comprise superconductor material;
- producing the inner shell by plastic injection molding using a thermoplastic material which contains a proportion of superconducting particles;
- producing the inner shell by a casting process using a thermosetting material that contains a proportion of superconducting particles;
- producing the inner shell by coating an inner surface and/or an outer surface of a container blank with a superconducting material;
- and wherein in a subsequent step, the inner shell is inserted into the outer shell.
