Abstract

A magnetically levitated superconducting coil system is being developed using high temperature superconductors for examining a new magnetic confinement of high-beta plasmas. A miniature double-pancake coil was fabricated with a Bi-2223 Ag-sheathed tape for the purpose of developing a floating control using laser displacement gauges. The coil was inductively excited with liquid nitrogen cooling and successfully levitated in the air. A persistent current switch is also being developed with a Bi-2223 Ag-0.3wt% Mn-sheathed tape, and a prototype model was successfully tested.
