ShareRecent developments for ship propulsion using high temperature superconductors.
Author(s) : SOULEN R. J., FRANCAVILLA T. L., GUBSER D. U.
Summary
Collaboration between the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), along with industrial partners American Superconductor Corporation (ASC) and Intermagnetics General Corporation (IGC), has been established in order to produce high-transition temperature superconducting motors for ship propulsion. In the latest tests, a homopolar motor wound from coils of BSCCO tapes has generated the following horsepower (hp) as a function of temperature: 320 hp (240 kilowatts) at 4.2 K, 230 hp (172 kilowatts) at 27 K, and 104 hp (78 kilowatts) at 77 K.
