RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCONDUCTING COILS FOR MAGLEV CARS

Using intrinsically stabilized superconducting wires with a copper ratio of about 2, four different types of coils were manufactured for the purpose of developing a light mass superconducting coil with high current density. They were designed so as to understand as systematically as possible how the differences in the structure and the method of manufacture might affect their performance. By testing their performances, it has become known that a superconducting wire with a copper ratio of about 2 can be available for a large magnet with a high magnetomotive force, and much useful knowledge regarding the effects of impregnation with epoxy resin has been obtained.
