Development of magnesium diboride (MgB2) wires and magnets using in situ strand fabrication method

TL;DR: In this paper, the progress on MgB2 conductor and coil development in the last several years at Hyper Tech Research, Inc. is discussed, and the authors discuss the potential to be integrated in a variety of commercial applications such as magnetic resonance imaging, fault current limiters, transformers, motors, generators, adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators, magnetic separation, magnetic levitation, energy storage and high energy physics applications.

Overview of MgB2 Superconductor Applications

TL;DR: The potential for MgB2 superconductors in a variety of commercial applications: magnetic resonance imaging, fault current limiters, transformers, motors, generators, adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators, magnetic separation, magnetic levitation, superconducting magnetic energy storage, and high-energy physics applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conduction cooled magnet design for 1.5 T, 3.0 T and 7.0 T MRI systems

TL;DR: In this article, electromagnetic designs for conduction cooled main magnets over the range of medium field strengths (1.5 T) to ultra high field strength (7.0 T) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conceptual designs of conduction cooled MgB2 magnets for 1.5 and 3.0 T full body MRI systems

TL;DR: This comprehensive set of magnet design considerations and analyses demonstrate the overall viability of 1.5 and 3.0 T MgB2 magnet designs and conclude there would be no damage to such a magnet during the manufacturing or operating stages, and that the magnet would survive various quench scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of persistent-mode operation in a superconducting MgB2 coil in solid nitrogen

TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication of a magnesium diboride (MgB2) coil and evaluation its persistent-mode operation in a system cooled by a cryocooler with solid nitrogen (SN2) as a cooling medium was reported.
