Lehrinhalte
Goal: The application of new technologies, i.e. super conduction, magnetic levitation techniques and magneto-hydrodynamic converter principles, are introduced to the students. The physical operation mode in principle, implemented prototypes and the current state of the development are described in detail.
Content: Application of the superconductors for electrical energy converters:
[list]
[*]rotating electrical machines (motors and generators),
[*]solenoid coils for the fusion research,
[*]locomotive- and railway transformers,
[*]magnetic bearings.
