This presentation summarizes the development and testing progress of a 100 kW superconducting propulsion unit designed for zero-emission aviation. The findings draw from two major UK-funded projects, in collaboration with Airbus Upnext. The propulsion unit features an axial-flux fully superconducting motor and an integrated cryogenic drive system. The motor, comprising two HTS stators and one...
Investigations carried out up to now on superconducting Maglev trains have always planned to use YBCO or REBCO oxides as superconducting materials [1, 2]. While MgB2 enters more and more applications [3], bulk MgB2 has not yet been seriously considered for Maglev projects. Its main drawback is its Tc that is low as compared to that of HTS oxides. As a consequence, the cooling costs are assumed...
With current propulsion capabilities, the trip to Mars takes around 6 to 8 months during which astronauts, plants, seeds, and electronics are exposed to energetic cosmic rays and solar flares that exceed acceptable radiation limits. This presents a critical challenge for future human interplanetary missions. In this work, we present a conceptual design for an innovative dual-purpose system...
This paper introduces the design and experimental demonstration of a novel insulated two-in-hand REBCO magnet for high-field applications. The inclusion of insulation ensures that the current follows the designed path, resulting in improved predictability and operational stability. Insulated magnets are particularly advantageous for applications requiring integrated quench detection and...
