In principle, magnetic fields are an excellent way of storing energy since
the energy storage increases as the square of the field strength. A 10
Tesla magnetic field has the same energy density as gasoline (and converts
to electrical energy much more cleanly and efficiently). However, we are
presently limited to relatively small magnetic fields by the limited
mechanical strengths and low electrical conductivity of presently available
materials.
