ABSTRACT:
Improved structure for reducing heating a monolithic suuperconducting winding due to friction generated at an interface between a "low eddy current" support structure and the winding is disclosed. Such improved structure comprises a low shear modulus, compliant material and high thermal conductivity sheet metal disposed in the interface region between the super-conducting winding on the support structure. The low shear modulus, compliant material yields in the shear direction, thereby reducing frictional heating, and whatever frictional heat is generated is removed by the high conductivity sheet metal and transferred to helium cooling channels which are located in the low eddy current support structure.
