Patent ID: 8362863

Claim:
A superconducting magnetizer assembly, comprising: a first and second coil packs, each comprising: an inner coil comprising a first superconducting magnet material, the coil being configured to generate a first magnetic field in response to an electric current supplied to the coil, wherein the first superconducting magnet material comprises niobium tin; an outer coil comprising a second superconducting magnet material, the outer coil being disposed about the inner coil and being configured to generate a second magnetic field in response to an electric current supplied to the outer coil, wherein the second superconducting magnet material comprises a material other than niobium tin; a cryogenic container housing the first and second coil packs; and additional coil packs having respective additional coils with superconducting magnet materials comprising a material other than niobium tin, the additional coils being configured to generate respective magnetic fields in response to an electrical current applied to the additional coils, wherein the additional coil packs are situated outside of the cryogenic container.
