Novel Cryogen-free Actively Shielded Superconducting Magnets for Maglev Vehicles, General Electric Corporate R & D Lab (GE-RD)
June, 1992
DOT/FRA/NMI-92/07
NTIS#:PB93-154771-INZ
This research resulted in the modeling and design of a shielded superconducting magnet (SCM) system for a maglev system. This design uses novel, cryogen-free refrigeration technology with conventional niobium-tin SCM's, and offers cost and reliability advantages for EDS maglev concepts, to provide field-levels in the passenger compartment that comply with existing exposure safety guidelines and standards.
