The recent commissioning of the 36 T Series-Connected Hybrid Magnet at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has uncovered an undesirable consequence of using super critical helium for cooling of superconductors. This new “dry-magnet” cooling technology greatly reduces the LHe requirements of the magnet and may be utilized more frequently in the future. Because the supercritical helium...
A fundamental challenge with High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) is their high critical temperature (Tc) values and the stability that they impart when used in a magnet device with sufficient stored energy. Low normal propagation velocities and high stability of HTS wires cause localized damage due to an excessive peak hot spot temperature during a quench. Protection of HTS magnets for...
Baby-IAXO is a new helioscope, currently under construction design, which will look for axions or axion-like particles (ALPs) originating in the Sun via the Primakoff effect. The hypothetical particles can transform into photons in the presence of a strong magnetic field, and then be detected. The superconducting magnet for this system is composed of two 10-m long racetrack coils, spaced by...
Lightweight and powerful technologies for hybrid-electric propulsion technology on-board transport aircraft are needed. GREEN laboratory with the support of DGA and SAFRAN Tech proposed an innovative electromagnetic design using High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) wire and bulks. This motor concept is very promising and can be upscaled easily to deliver large power to mass ratio...
The consortium of the Advanced Superconducting Motor Experimental Demonstrator (ASuMED) will develop, build and test the first fully superconductive motor for aerospace applications. The cryogenic topology of the motor is based on a dual-cryostat concept, which consists of two separate cryostats for the rotor and stator. The rotor cryostat design is particularly challenging because of the...
With the advent of high-power pulse tube refrigerators cryogen free research tools providing mK temperatures and moderate applied magnetic fields have become commonplace. For large scale applications, complex and ultra-high field superconducting magnets liquid helium reservoirs remain a well-considered design option. Truly zero loss, re-condensing cryostats for such large-scale applications...
