A significant milestone in the application of superconducting magnets for large accelerators was reached on June 2nd 1 983 when the Tevatron at Fermilab transported the first beam in its giant superconducting ring. This machine, which extends over 6 km and contains 1000 superconducting magnets, is t

Pressurized cooling loops in which superfluid helium circulation is driven by the heat being removed have been previously demonstrated in laboratory tests. A simpler and lighter version which eliminates a heat exchanger by mixing the returning fluid directly with the superfluid helium bath was analy
Forced-cooled superconductors are viewed as a promising alternative in the development of high field superconducting magnets for future fusion devices. The high current density cabled superconductor is protected against thermal instabilities by forcing (single phase) supercritical helium through the
The large superconducting detector magnets used for high energy physics experiments are virtually all indirectly cooled. In general, these detector magnets are not cryogenically stabilized. Therefore, there are a number of choices for cooling large indirectly cooled detector magnets. These choices i
As recent economic studies favour the commercialization of MHD for power generation, the status of the technology development is analysed. The most significant obstacle to the early mtroduction of MHD generators is the lagging development of large scale superconducting magnets. Development in this a
