Quench Heater Schemes for No-Insulation Superconducting Magnets

Systems and methods are provided herein for inducing quench in a non-insulated superconducting magnet. Some techniques described herein provide for operating the non-insulated superconducting magnet by applying a first current to the non-insulated superconducting magnet, and inducing quench in the non-insulated superconducting magnet at least in part by applying a second current to the non-insulated superconducting magnet, wherein the second current is opposite in direction to the first current.
