Nested shell superconducting magnet designs

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

A new concept for manufacturing the toroidal field coil is described. Instead of structural plates, the magnet is wound in interlocking shells. The magnet configuration is described and the advantages explored. Structural analysis of the concept is performed using the ARIES tokamak reactor parameters. The effectiveness of a structural cap, placed above and below the toroidal field coils and used only to balance opposing torques generated in different places of the coil, is quantified.
