The technology of the magnetic resonant of wireless transfer (MRCWPT) has been expected as one of reasonable options as a convenience and safety high power sources for industrial and transportation applications such as self-driving electric vehicles, trams and high speed Hyperloop trains since the conventional wire power lines (pantograph) elevates tunnel construction costs as well as degrades sta...Show More
The study of dynamic characteristics is crucial for the future safe applications of HTS maglev systems. Currently, there is limited research on the dynamic characteristics of stack-type HTS maglev systems, particularly regarding the effect of the copper layer within the coated conductor multi-layer structure on vibrational behavior. This paper fills this research gap. The dynamic responses of a st...Show More
After the test run of a 200 m superconducting null-flux electromagnetic suspension system, where the vehicle with high temperature superconducting magnets was successfully levitated, a static platform was designed and is under construction in ChangChun, China, with the purpose of experimental studies on the vibrational dynamics of the suspended vehicles, especially the coupled roll-lateral vibrati...Show More
Superconducting maglev is one of the important engineering applications of superconducting magnet technology. Offline time and maintenance time are the key problems for engineering superconducting maglev. To meet the engineering requirements of the second generation (2G) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets, it is necessary to study the cooldown, off-line, and reheating processes of supe...Show More
Traditional transporter systems with belts and gears generate friction, reducing efficiency, which is a huge problem especially when used in clean rooms. Then, the Hybrid Magnetic Levitation System, which combines superconducting levitation stability and strong repulsion from permanent magnets, has been developed to solve this problem. This system consists of magnet rails with a Halbach Array to e...Show More
In this paper, we proposed a new axial-type superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) based on the interaction behavior between a permanent magnet and two closed superconducting coils. Firstly, the principle of the new SMB was presented. Then, the axial restoration characteristic is simulated based on a finite element simulation model. With the simulation results, the optimized parameters for designi...Show More
The Hyperloop is expected to surpass the speed limits of conventional ground transportation by minimizing air drag and friction resistance inside a vacuum tube, necessitating a stable magnetic levitation system. Among the various levitation methods being considered, electrodynamic suspension (EDS) combined with superconducting magnets (SCMs) capable of achieving a large airgap appears promising, a...Show More
We have been investigating a wireless power transmission (WPT) system using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils for stopped railway vehicles at a station. On the other hand, the design guidelines of the resonance circuit topologies (SS, SP, PS, and PP topologies) suitable for the WPT system using the HTS coils have not been sufficiently established. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify t...Show More
A high-temperature superconducting coil (HTS) has been developed for a suspension electromagnet system of a maglev train. A preliminary prototype HTS coil module has been designed to replace one-six of the normal suspension electromagnet system used to verify the HTS performance. The HTS module consists of a warm yoke, an iron core, and two HTS coils. The HTS coil was connected by two symmetric wi...Show More
The magnetic recoil spectrometer (MRS) system was established and optimized for precisely measuring the absolute neutron energy spectrum in high-resolution implosion experiments at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CHFML). The MRS system generates an irregular magnetic field that is wedge-shaped relative to the trajectory of the incident particle, and the magne...Show More
Field shaper is a device that can effectively increase the magnetic field and electromagnetic force of the forming area during the electromagnetic forming technology. However, there is a seam in the conventional single field shaper structure to change the direction of the induced current, which causes uneven distribution of magnetic field and electromagnetic force in the circumferential direction....Show More
Magnetic refrigeration, utilizing the magnetocaloric effect, has seen various applications due to its theoretically high efficiency, including helium liquefaction at 4 K, hydrogen liquefaction at 20 K, and room temperature magnetic cooling. Generally, the magnetocaloric effect becomes more significant with stronger magnetic fields, so when a substantial cooling capacity is required, superconductin...Show More
The forced flow two phase helium cooling concept of superconducting magnets in parallel channels works successfully since the commissioning of the Nuclotron accelerator at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna in 1993. We summarize its main cryogenic aspects and describe the optimization factors for further design of high or low current magnets designated for fast cycling or nea...Show More
A reciprocating type active magnetic regenerative refrigeration (AMR) utilizes the magnetocaloric effect of magnetic materials which occurs during magnetization and demagnetization processes by moving magnetic materials in and out of a magnet. Estimating the induced voltage and electromagnetic force in the superconducting magnet during the reciprocation is crucial to optimize the design of the AMR...Show More
The existence of screening currents is one large drawback coming from the use of REBa2Cu3O7-x with RE standing for Rare Earth (REBCO) tapes to develop superconducting coils. It not only alters the quality of the magnetic field but also implies losses and additional mechanical stresses on the tapes. The High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials (HFLSM) from Tohoku University, Japan, toget...Show More
Future circular particle accelerators with collision energies significantly beyond the LHC will require magnets with higher magnetic field. Quench protection of such magnets is challenging for two main reasons. First, the high energy density and relatively high margin to quench require a high-performance quench protection system. Second, integration of the protection system in an accelerator machi...Show More
The ITER Central Solenoid (CS) is under fabrication by the US ITER organization and its subcontractors. US ITER will supply seven modules to ITER IO (International Organization), six of which will be assembled in a stack that forms the ITER Central Solenoid. In the ITER operational scenario the CS modules (CSM) experience very high voltages, especially during plasma initiation and plasma disruptio...Show More
In this article, a simple and versatile method of thermal stability evaluation for no-insulation (NI) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets is proposed. Thermal stability is fundamental to superconducting magnets. The evaluation of coil temperature is an essential part of magnet design even though NI HTS magnets exhibit high thermal stability. Already proposed methods with complicated equ...Show More
