Quench Damage Resilient Designs for High Energy Density, No Insulation, Superconducting Magnets

Exclusively Licensed

Techniques are described for improving quench damage resiliency in non-insulated (NI) high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets. The techniques may include tuning an amount of HTS tape within turns of a winding of an NI-HTS magnet to reduce variation in critical current across the winding, and/or may include adjusting the turn-to-turn resistance of the windings by adjusting turn-to-turn spacing between windings and thereby reduce variations in joule heating between turns during a quench.
