  • Quench protected structured superconducting cable
    Patent number: 10896773
    Abstract: Quench protected structured (QPS) superconducting cables, methods of fabricating the same, and methods of bending the same are disclosed. The methods of bending the QPS superconducting cables can be employed to produce windings. The QPS superconducting cables can rapidly drive a distributed quench to a normal conducting state in a superconducting cable if a region of the cable spontaneously quenches during high current operation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 19, 2021
    Assignee: The Texas A&M University System
    Inventors: Peter McIntyre, Akhdiyor Sattarov, Thomas Mann, James Gerity, Klaus Smit, Daniel Chavez, Nathaniel Pogue, Michael Tomsic
