The plan is still the same… Sweep in parameter space of B-Field, Rotation Speed and Immersion (1 T, 2000 rpm, 50 mm) Observation of kicks as spokes traverse field Measurement of eddy currents by torque and direct heating ( Lei Zang: PhD student, Liv ) Additional support from Duncan Scott ( ASTeC ) Study of rotor-dynamics (LLNL: accelerometers) Simulations from Jim Rochford (RAL) in parallel with LLNL Tues Mar 24 LC-ABD / LCUK, Bristol 6

Carmen spoke model • Model results; full revolution • Here we see the torque peaks correspond to each point a spoke crosses the –ve X axis i.e. when a spoke passes through the coil centres 90o 162o 18o rotation 234o 18o 162o 234o 306o 90o 306o • Retarding torque predicted by CARMEN for 100rpm for a full revolution Alignment at t=0
Conclusion • I’m confident the experimental programme will be completed in the next 2 months • PAC paper, NIM paper will follow • Thank you and goodbye!
