A tank support assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle structure and a storage tank assembly. The storage tank assembly is held in place relative to the vehicle structure via a magnetic support system. The magnetic support system includes tank magnets affixed to the storage tank assembly and structure magnets affixed to the vehicle structure. The tank magnets interact with the structure magnets to passively provide repulsive magnetic forces that constrain movement of the storage tank assembly relative to the vehicle structure without the tank magnets mechanically engaging the structure magnets.

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.
