Abstract

The ability of Type II superconductors to maintain zero electrical resistance under direct current conditions while in the presence of high magnetic fields has led to various current and proposed future uses for superconducting coils. These include high energy physics applications, containment coils for controlled thermonuclear fusion research, saddle shaped coils for energy conversion in magnetohydrodynamic power generation, superconducting coils for the field windings of electrical motors and generators, both for utility applications as well as for electric ship propulsion, levitating coils to suspend a high speed ground vehicle above an electrically conducting guideway, coils for magnetic storage of electrical energy, as well as Laboratory coils for use in a wide variety of research ranging from low temperature solid state physics to novel applications of the magnetic fields.
