Abstract
A cryogenic flux capacitor (CFC) storage system includes a CFC core module having an inner container comprising one of: (i) a vessel; and (ii) a membrane that contains a substrate material. Fluid paths in the substrate material distribute fluid during charging and discharging. Nanoporous media is attached to the substrate material that receives fluid via physical adsorption during charging. A thermally conductive support layer maintains position of the substrate material within the inner container. The thermally conductive support layer conductively distributes thermal energy within the inner container. An outer insulating container encompasses the CFC core module. At least one fluid conduit directs transfers of the fluid in a gaseous or liquid state from a source subsystem into the CFC core module during charging and the fluid in a gaseous state out of the CFC core module during discharging to a destination subsystem that utilizes the fluid in a gaseous state.
