  • Patent number: 11961664
    Abstract: Systems and methods for superconducting magnets are disclosed, such systems and methods comprising a primary coil and short-circuited secondary coil. The secondary coil can be made from a stack of superconducting tapes having longitudinal cuts forming closed superconductor loops without splices. The primary coil is used to pump the current into the secondary coil where it circulates continuously generating a permanent magnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20230386713
    Abstract: A superconducting magnet system having a dipole magnet, a superconducting short-circuited secondary coil(s), a magnetizer, and a magnetizing primary coil. The dipole magnet comprises a magnet core having along its diameter a core back leg and a magnet gap. The High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) secondary coil(s) enwrap the core back leg of the dipole magnet. The magnetizer, positioned in magnetic communication with the dipole magnet, creates a closed magnetic circuit about the magnet gap. The non-superconducting magnetizing primary coil enwraps the magnetizer substantially opposite the secondary coil(s) with respect to the magnet gap. The magnetizing primary coil generates a common magnetic flux with the superconducting short-circuited secondary coil(s), initially operating in a non-superconducting state. Cooling the secondary coil(s) to a superconducting state transitions operation to frozen flux mode.
