Maximizing High Field Superconductor Performance with Integrated Reinforcement

This study delves into characterizing high field superconductors for optimal performance, focusing on procedures like soldering, tension measurement, and twist pitch evaluation. Using precision and accuracy, the study highlights the impact of variables like tension and pitch angle, crucial for avoiding collapses and mishaps. The tough times of insufficient tension and brittle wires are discussed, along with the significance of reinforcement through tubes and wires to maintain superconductivity. The next steps involve testing mass flow rate and acknowledging key contributors in the project.

  1. Performance Characterization Of Candidate High Field Superconductors Using Integrated Reinforcement John W. Taylor Jr. National High Magnetic Field Laboratory July 10, 2006

  2. Superconductivity • Ability To Conduct Electricity Without Resistance At Temperatures Near Absolute Zero And, In Some Cases At Higher Temperatures

  3. Superconducting Wires • Efficient And Reliable • High Performance • Very Expensive

  4. Principal Procedures • Drilled Holes In Guide With Drill Press • Cut Wire And Copper Pipe • Solder Together • Pull For Tension • Measure Twist Pitch • Place In Tubes

  5. Main Materials • 0.8 mm Diameter Copper Wire Tin Plated • 1.5mm Diameter Copper Wire Tin Plated • Copper Pipe • Clamps • Tubes • Guide • Drill

  6. Precision & Accuracy • Tension • Speed • Distance Of Guide • Pitch Angle

  7. If Not Then. . . • The Wire Would Collapse Into The Center • The Wind Would Have Some Mishaps

  8. Twist Pitch • Distance Of Turns By Number Of Wires • Alternating Current Loss

  9. AC Loss • Eddy Current • Hysteresis

  10. Twist Pitch For Wires 0.8mm Diameter Wire • 1 x 3 2.0cm • 3 x 3 4.0cm 1.5mm Diameter Wire • 1 x 3 2.0cm • 3 x 3 4.0cm • 3 x 4 4.0cm

  11. Tough Times • Spacing Of Wires • Not Enough Tension • 3 x 5 And 3 x 6 Center Tubes

  12. Tubing • Wires Are Brittle • No Longer Superconductors • Tubes For Reinforcement • Because Of High Temperatures

  13. Cut Wires And Tubes Flatten Tubes Wind Together Test Mass Flow Rate Through Tubes Next Steps
