ABSTRACT:
A self-shielding system of closed superconducting circuits shields a specific volume from changes in an external magnetic field in which the circuits are located; the configuration of circuits is chosen so that induced currents in the circuits, arising from magnetic flux conservation for each closed circuit, tend to cancel any change in the external magnetic field. In another aspect, a single closed self-shielding superconducting circuit comprised of more than two circular loops connected in series shields a specific volume from changes in an external magnetic field in which the circuit is located; the configuration of the circuit is chosen so that induced currents in the circuit, arising from magnetic flux conservation for the circuit, tends to cancel any change in the external magnetic field.
