1Duration of action of moving object
If chemical accumulator based batteries are used, then they can store electrical energy, but they have limited operational lifetime due to irreversible chemical changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the chemical accumulation mechanism with a magnetic field-based capacitor system. The magnetic capacitor stores energy in a magnetic field rather than through chemical reactions, eliminating irreversible chemical changes. The system uses a superconducting coil to generate and store magnetic energy, providing near-infinite charge-discharge cycles without degradation.

Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes chemical energy conversion with electromagnetic field energy storage and conversion. The magnetic capacitor system uses purely physical electromagnetic processes without chemical reactions, eliminating toxic chemical byproducts and enabling environmentally friendly energy storage and power provision.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional rechargeable batteries are used, then they can provide a single power source, but they cannot meet multiple power requirements for various sub-system functions
Solution Approach 1:
