Abstract:
A superconducting electromechanical rotating device comprising:(A) a rotor including a rotor winding which is configured to be cooled with a cryogenic fluid so as to be rendered superconductive; and(B) a liquid-cooled stator which surrounds said rotor and which is selectively energizable with an electric current to drive said rotor to rotate, said stator including(1) a support structure; and(2) a stator winding mounted on said support structure so that an air-gap is formed between said rotor and said stator winding, said stator winding comprising a multi-coil, one-layer winding formed from plurality of stator coils potted onto said support structure using a potting material which is disposed in gaps in said stator winding and between said stator winding and said support structure, the potting material securing the coils to the support structure.
