Abstract

An apparatus and method for reducing magnetic field inhomogeneities which produce rotational loss mechanisms in high temperature superconducting magnetic bearings are disclosed. Magnetic field inhomogeneities are reduced by dividing high temperature superconducting structures into smaller structures, and arranging the smaller structures into tiers which stagger the magnetic field maximum locations of the smaller structures. 20 figs.

Optimization of superconducting tiling pattern for superconducting bearings

Patent Hull, John R [Hinsdale, IL]

An apparatus and method for reducing magnetic field inhomogeneities which produce rotational loss mechanisms in high temperature superconducting magnetic bearings. Magnetic field inhomogeneities are reduced by dividing high temperature superconducting structures into smaller structures, and arranging the smaller structures into tiers which stagger the magnetic field maximum locations of the smaller structures.

Superconducting microcircuitry by the microlithographic patterning of superconducting compounds and related materials

Patent Coppa, N V

A method is described of producing superconducting microcircuits comprising the steps of: depositing a thin film of Ba[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 5+x](O < x < 1) onto a substrate; depositing a thin film of a dopant onto said thin film of Ba[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 5+x]; depositing a photoresist onto said thin film of a dopant; shining light through a mask containing a pattern for a desired circuit configuration and onto said photoresist; developing said photoresist to remove portions of said photoresist shined by the light and to selectively expose said dopant film; etching said selectively exposed dopant film from said thinmore » « less
Permanent magnet design for high-speed superconducting bearings

Patent Hull, J R; Uherka, K L; Abdoud, R G

A high temperature superconducting bearing including a permanent magnet rotor levitated by a high temperature superconducting structure is disclosed. The rotor preferably includes one or more concentric permanent magnet rings coupled to permanent magnet ring structures having substantially triangular and quadrangular cross-sections. Both alternating and single direction polarity magnet structures can be used in the bearing. 9 figs.
Low-loss, high-speed, high-{Tc} superconducting bearings

Patent Hull, J R; Mulcahy, T M; Uherka, K L

A flywheel energy storage device is disclosed including an iron structure disposed for rotation adjacent a stationary superconductor material structure and a stationary permanent magnet. The stationary permanent magnet levitates the iron structure while the superconductor structure can stabilize and levitate the rotating iron structure. 15 figs.
Method for obtaining large levitation pressure in superconducting magnetic bearings

Patent Hull, J R

A method and apparatus are disclosed for compressing magnetic flux to achieve high levitation pressures. Magnetic flux produced by a magnetic flux source travels through a gap between two high temperature superconducting material structures. The gap has a varying cross-sectional area to compress the magnetic flux, providing an increased magnetic field and correspondingly increased levitation force in the gap. 4 figs.
