Electric motor equipped with a superconducting inducer

Presentation

This electric motor comprises an inductor with a superconducting element integrated between the windings.To further improve the performance of this type of electrical motor, a new type of inductor made of superconducting material has been added, increasing the generated magnetic field. 

This induction device comprises a set of two conductive coils traversed by currents with the same direction, and a central piece along an inclined plane in between the two coils. The centerpiece is made of superconducting material, type YBaCuO or BSCCO. To cool the centerpiece, the engine also includes a cryogenic storage dewar.
