DC Magnets with NI HTS Cable

A motive magnetic system includes a first coil configured to produce a constant magnetic field. The first coil includes a support structure having a groove and a high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable comprising a metal at least partially filling the HTS cable. The cable is disposed in the groove. A second coil is configured to produce an alternating magnetic field. The first coil and the second coil are positioned so that the constant magnetic field and the alternating magnetic field interact to cause a magnetic force between the first coil and the second coil that causes motion between the first and second coil.
