A large superconducting magnet for fusion research

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5839625
Fusion technology will require superconducting fields of moderately larger working volume and of moderately higher field strength (by several orders of magnitude) than previously designed. A novel design of a toroidal magnet that accommodates the large forces generated by such a magnet, was previously reported. This paper describes modifications to the coil shape required when the toroidal magnet is comprised of discrete coils as well as a segment of a toroidal system that is being constructed and, when tested, will verify the reported prescription. The coil segment has a bore approximately 1.0 m x 1.3 m and will be tested for a maximum field of 100,000 G. 7 refs.
