Steel-hull ships generate a magnetic field making them vulnerable to weapons equipped with magnetic sensors. To mitigate this threat, navies use ship deperming treatments to reduce the ship’s magnetization. We design a flat seabed coil with a racetrack shape to deperm a ship that remains stationary above the coil for quick operation. The required magnetic field generated by the coil is...
This research investigates the feasibility of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets as pivotal components for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) applications, with a focus on their integration into power grids. SMES systems store energy in the magnetic field of superconducting coils, and the large current-carrying capability of HTS has shown its potential for SMES...
Adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) is a cooling method that utilizes the cooling effect from the magnetic material under a changing magnetic field. Commonly, the field variation is generated by a superconducting magnet. If a 4 K cryocooler is implemented as a heat sink of the magnet, both low temperature superconductors (LTS) and high temperature superconductors (HTS) can be used for...
Large aluminum alloy rings are vital components in wind turbine and high-speed train, serving as bearing rings, transition rings, and reinforcing structures. The structural stability and mechanical properties of these rings are critical to ensuring assembly precision and safety performance of these systems. However, the manufacturing process of large aluminum alloys rings inevitably introduce...
For long-distance acceleration applications such as electromagnetic catapults and high-speed maglev trains, usually, multiple short linear motors are joined together into longer linear motors as needed. In this paper, a new type high temperature superconducting-linear motor (HTS-LM) for long-distance acceleration applications is designed. The stator winding of the HTS-LM is a ring winding...
The so-called fully superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) is composed of a rotor of high temperature superconducting (HTS) bulk of YBaCuO and a stator wind wounded by HTS coated conductor tapes. The fully SMB has been developed a prototype and is in operation in Japan. The dynamics of fully SMB under long term operation is crucial to engineering applications, however, the experimental and...
The International Maritime Organization has set a 'Net Zero' target for the maritime industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 in response to climate change. To achieve this goal, the shipbuilding industry is focusing on the design and research of cryogenic equipment for the transportation of liquid hydrogen and carbon capture in cryogenic states. Liquid hydrogen must be...
