✦ Synopsis

The design and operation of a mechanical superconducting flux compressor is described. The compressor is constructed of movable interleaved plates, rather like a variable capacitor. Increasing the overlap of the two sets of plates decreases the size of a hole in which magnetic flux is trapped, thus increasing the flux density.
