Abstract:
1. A portable magnet power supply for a superconducting magnet comprising apparatus for the storage of energy released from a superconducting magnet, said apparatus comprising: an electrical run-down load for connection across the electrical terminals of the superconducting magnet to receive energy released from the superconducting magnet in a ramping down of the superconducting magnet in a ramping down time span; a heat storage material in thermal contact with the run-down load, said heat storage material having a heat storage capacity that stores substantially all of said energy in said ramping down time span; and a housing in which said run-down load and said heat storage material are contained, said housing being configured to be manually portable and said run-down load and said heat storage material having a size and weight configured for manual transport of said run-down load and said heat storage material in said housing.
