HTS Solenoid Punch: Team Supercool
The Story So Far tos/boxeo/box-punch.jpg
The Story So Far Used HTS tape to make a punch Selected radius of solenoid based on measurements Designed and built apparatus Wrapped HTS tape Attempted to Connect Leads
Apparatus Dimensions 3” high with ¾” thick base 5” O.D. with ½” thick walls < 1 ¼” Inner diameter to slide PVC over 15/16” Through hole for punch
Critical Current
Apparatus Construction
HTS Tape Wrapping For a 2.5” diameter 1.5 m tape 2” length 2” length 60 m tape should be 80” Our solenoid is 6” tall -> 13 layers tall -> 13 layers
Final Assembly
The Outlet
Tests Inner magnetic field with Magnetometer Critical Current Self-Field limitations (voltmeter and Magnetometer) Force Compare to results from copper solenoid
Immediate Goals Use propane torch to solder power leads Experiment with aspect ratio Insulate with Kapton tape Heat conduction calculations for Helium Build final sized apparatus
Connecting Power Leads
Final Design Flat disk of Al from original ingot Two large diameter tubes attached to bottom disk Lid
Final Design
