  • Apparatus to support superconducting windings in a rotor of an electomotive machine
    Patent number: 9293959
    Abstract: An apparatus (structure) is provided to support a superconductor winding (61) of an electromotive machine. One or more elongated loops (74) and appropriate support structure (120) may be arranged to provide radial and tangential support to the superconducting winding (61). The elongated loops may be made of a material substantially resistant to heat flow. An axially-extending base assembly (100) may be arranged to anchor loops (74) with respect to the rotor core at a proximate end (76) of the elongated loops. A cradle (80) may be configured to define a recess (82) to receive the superconductor winding and to support the elongated loops at a distal end (78) of the loops.
    Type: Grant
