Abstract: A responsive cryogenic power distribution system for maintaining cryogenic refrigeration throughout a superconducting network. The responsive cryogenic power distribution system includes a plurality of cryogenic cable arrangements and cryogenic cooling stations, arranged to form a single master closed loop arrangement and a plurality of sub closed loop arrangements, enclosed within the single master closed loop arrangement. The system also includes sensors and controllers that allow for reconfiguration in the event of a loss of one or more cryogenic cooling stations and/or one or more cryogenic cable arrangements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for degaussing a water vessel. The invention involves the use of a light-weight reduced-size degaussing system that comprises a plurality of degaussing coils arranged in a plurality of axes. An electrical current is passed through the plurality of coils to create a degaussing field. The degaussing coils comprise a high temperature superconductor material, the coils cooled by a single-phase gaseous cryogen.
