SUMMARY:The Superconducting Motor with Its Perspective - Ruilin Pei\, Depa
 rtment of Engineering
DTSTART:20090423T120000Z

CONTACT:Dr James Kirkbride
DESCRIPTION:Second generation (2G) high temperature superconductors (HTS) 
 provide unparalleled capacity to pass electrical currents\, with tape a ce
 ntimetre wide and 2 microns thick able to carry hundreds of amps. This dra
 matic increase of current density over conventional wires allows for an in
 cremental improvement in both motor and generator performance\, yet to fac
 ilitate this requires dramatic changes in machine designs which have remai
 ned unchanged for many decades.\n\nCambridge University EPEC superconducti
 vity group\, headed by Dr. Tim Coombs\, is a specialised research and deve
 lopment group which boasts significant academic expertise in the field of 
 superconducting electrical machines. We will license the cut-edge technolo
 gy to generator manufacturers supplying the growing wind energy and marine
  propulsion markets whilst continuing to innovate and lead development of 
 this maturing technology.\n
