Development of Superconducting Machinery.
Abstract
A synchronous generator consisting of a 2-pole superconducting field winding and a three-phase rotating room temperature armature has been designed, built tested, and operated successfully. The maximum machine output is 6 horsepower at 3600 revolutions per minute. The problems met in designing the motor are detailed and their solutions described. Results of testing indicate that the concept is viable. A small list of facets of design yet to be investigated indicates future work. Appended is a brief description of a small, superconducting, homopolar generator that was also built. (Author)
