Abstract

Development of the intrinsically stable multifilament conductor [1–5] was prompted by the desire to construct high-field (> 50 kG), pulsed superconducting magnets for research in high-energy physics. It was soon realized that this type of conductor was suitable for superconducting machinery, and at present development of this application of superconductivity is in progress in many countries. Development of superconducting ac machinery is aimed at ship propulsion, large central station turbogenerators, and high-power airborne generators. Such rotating machinery might well become the most important application of superconductivity.
