Abstract

A process for supplying a current consumer with current from an accumulator for electrical energy, in which electrical energy pulses of very short duration each are supplied to the current consumer from a superconducting accumulator (2) made with superconductors (8) of very small diameter or very small layer thickness. The superconductors (8) are preferably high-temperature superconductors.
