510. M4Or1A-01: [Invited] Supply Chain of REBCO and Bi-2212 conductors for high-field magnets

Lance Cooley (NHMFL/FSU)

5/22/25, 9:30 AM

Contributed Oral

Over the past 2 decades, the high-temperature superconductors REBCO (RE1Ba2Cu3O7-x where RE is a Rare Earth element or yttrium) and Bi-2212 (Bi2Sr2CaCu2O10) have been developed into reliable conductor for magnet technology operating above 15 T and as possible “dry” magnets with limited amounts of liquid cryogens. Fusion applications have recently invested approximately $400 million in the...

486. M4Or1A-02: [Invited] REBCO Magnets for Fusion Propulsion

Honghai Song

5/22/25, 9:50 AM

Invited Oral

REBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets are redefining fusion-based propulsion systems by enabling compact, high-field solutions critical for plasma confinement and acceleration. Operating at higher temperatures (20–77 K), REBCO magnets reduce cryogenic complexity and weight while achieving magnetic fields exceeding 2 Tesla, offering unmatched...

163. M4Or1A-03: [Invited] AeroCryoX: A Comprehensive Library of Cryogenic Power System Component Models for Designing Electric Aircraft

M. Tahir Khan Niazi (FAMU-FSU College of Engineering)

5/22/25, 10:20 AM

Invited Oral

This paper discusses AeroCryoX, a MATLAB/Simulink-based modeling library developed to support the design and analysis of cryogenic power systems of electric aircraft as part of the NASA-funded University Leadership Initiative, Integrated Zero-Emission Aviation (IZEA). IZEA aims to achieve zero-emission regional aviation through a novel hybrid powertrain architecture utilizing liquid hydrogen...

342. M4Or1A-04: [Invited] Liquid Hydrogen for Sustainable Energy Systems: Latest Development, Challenges and Opportunities

Mr David Mensah Sackey (FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering)

5/22/25, 10:40 AM

Invited Oral

Fossil fuels and their low efficiency and emissions have impacted our climate and energy resilience. The focus on Net-Zero targets and general awareness of the negative impacts of emissions on climate change and sustainability triggered a paradigm of new energy sources for electricity generation. Expanding our reliance on renewable energy sources requires large scale energy storage. Liquid...
