Abstract:
1. A method for charging a pulsed-power system, comprising: providing an initial charge to a first high temperature superconductor (HTS) mounted on a rotor within a first pulsed-power device; spinning the rotor within the first pulsed-power device such that the initial charge of the first HTS induces a voltage in a first armature coil within the first pulsed-power device; creating a pulsed current from the voltage induced in the first armature coil; routing the pulsed current to a second armature coil within a second pulsed-power device to induce a magnetic field around the second armature coil; introducing a second HTS mounted on a rotor within the second pulsed-power device to the magnetic field around the second armature coil to at least partially charge the second HTS; spinning the rotor within the second pulsed-power device such that the charge of the second HTS induces a voltage in the second armature coil; creating a pulsed current from the voltage induced in the second armature coil; routing the pulsed current to the first armature coil to induce a magnetic field around the first armature coil; and introducing the first HTS to the magnetic field around the first armature coil to increase the initial charge of the first HTS.
