Means to provide electrical and mechanical separation between turns in windings of a superconducting device

TLDR
In this article, the authors describe an improved super-constrained magnetnet or coil in which the supercondent is wound and positioned by GENERALLY LOINGITUDINALLY EXTENDING SPACERS HAVING SLOTS for the TURNS and RIBS BETWEEN the SLOTS, the SPACers also SEPARATING LAYERS of the WINDING and PERMITTING a CRYOGENIC MEDIUM to COME in Intimate CONTACT with the tURNS.
Abstract
AN IMPROVED SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET OR COIL IN WHICH THE SUPERCONDUCTOR IS WOUND AND POSITIONED BY GENERALLY LOINGITUDINALLY EXTENDING SPACERS HAVING SLOTS FOR THE TURNS AND RIBS BETWEEN THE SLOTS, THE SPACERS ALSO SEPARATING LAYERS OF THE WINDING AND PERMITTING A CRYOGENIC MEDIUM TO COME IN INTIMATE CONTACT WITH THE TURNS. THE SPACERS HAVE AN INSULATING OR SEMICONDUCTING SURFACE AND MAY BE OF A NORMAL METAL OR AN ORGANIC INSULATING MATERIAL. THE COIL MAY VARY IN SPACING OF TURNS ENDWISE AND MAY VARY IN DIAMETER FROM END TO END.

Superconducting magnet having a support structure for ring-shaped superconductive coils

TL;DR: A superconducting magnet includes a coil support structure comprising a body formed of a generally-cylindrical wall as discussed by the authors, each of which includes at least a pair of surfaces facing inwardly of said body, each being of generally cylindrical shape and each being adapted to abut the radially-outer surface of a respective one of a ring-shaped, superconductive coils.
Patent

Superconducting coil apparatus

TL;DR: A superconducting coil is composed of a plurality of former segments which are assembled into a cylindrical foam, and each segment has a fluid passage formed on the outer surfaces thereof to permit the cooling medium to flow there through to come in contact with the super-conducting wire.
