DESCRIPTION:   The superconductors are able to carry very large current de
 nsities and can trap super large magnetic fields compared with conventiona
 l materials. A superconducting machine is an ideal device for power genera
 tion\, ship propulsion and electric vehicles\, for it would be many times 
 smaller\, lighter and more efficient than an equivalent copper wound motor
 .\n   In the last few years\, an increasing number of research groups conc
 entrated on the development of a new generation of motors and generators w
 hose rated power from some kilowatts up to several hundred megawatts such 
 as Mitsuru Izumi’s group from Tokyo University Marine Science Technology
 \, Ohsaki Laboratory from University of Tokyo\, Philippe J. Masson’s gro
 up from University of Houston\, etc. From 2005\, research on fully HTS mot
 or with HTS coils in the stator and HTS bulks on the rotor has been carrie
 d on in the Superconductivity Group of Engineering Department\, University
  of Cambridge. Now\, the world’s first bulk-type fully high temperature 
 superconducting synchronous motor (HTS-SM) was assembled and tested in our
  laboratory. The results show that the performance of this HTS motor is ac
 ceptable for practical applications.
