Re: Bikeshedding superconductiong magrid design

I don't see how you could use deionized water to cool the wires connecting the magnet rings without introducing some crazy engineering problems. Unless you propose each polywell ring have an in and out from the vacuum chamber and you run the attaching wires out of and back into the chamber to get to...

Re: Bikeshedding superconductiong magrid design

I'm not arguing that we, meaning whoever tries this, should try to get copper down to superconducting temps, but to use LN or LH, if available, to see if the designs proposed on this forum for cooling are valid or just theory. At the very least, it defrays the cost of superconducting cable/ribbon/wi...

Bikeshedding superconductiong magrid design

Things I don't know, and haven't been able to find out: Series VS Parallel on the magnets: I figure Parallel has more math involved to make sure the plasma core is in the center of the magrid. It also requires more overall power, but it vastly simplifies the superconduction cooling design. Someone, ...
