Patent ID: 7928616

Claim:
A system for generating power comprising: a superconducting generator including: a field assembly including a superconducting field winding configured to produce an electromagnetic field coupled to an armature assembly of the generator, the field assembly and the armature assembly arranged to rotate with respect to one another; the armature assembly comprising: a magnetic body portion; a magnetic tooth portion having a front surface and a rear surface, wherein the tooth portion is an extension of the magnetic body portion of the armature assembly, which is a laminated assembly, wherein the laminated armature assembly carries an alternating current (AC), wherein the electromagnetic field coupled to the armature assembly is sufficiently intense to cause at least the tooth portion to operate in a magnetically saturated condition; a slot partially defined by the magnetic body portion and the magnetic tooth portion; an armature bar engaging the slot; and a cooling cavity partially defined by the tooth portion, the cooling cavity communicative with the front surface and the rear surface of the tooth portion to cool the armature bar.
