This paper presents recent progress by Los Alamos National Laboratory/Superconductivity Technology Center (LANL/STC) and Lockheed Martin Corporation/Advanced Development Operations (LMQADO) Energy and Power Systems group to jointly develop and test high temperature superconductor coils for practical applications such as motors, generators, magnetic bearings, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), MAGLEV trains, or electrical inductors. Critical currents of 105 A/cm{sup 2} have been achieved in a Bi-2212/Ag tape conductor using a patented Ag addition process to improve core morphology and uniformity. Results of testing to measure key conductor parameters are presented along with design and analysis details of a general-purpose multi-layer HTS coil.
