Optical rotating torque sensor with nano newton-meter resolution based on a hanging torsion wire

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Billy Nussbaumer

This article presents a novel torque measuring setup working in the nano newton-meter range. The central novelty is a long (1 meter range) thin (diameter of a few tens of micrometers) metallic wire used instead of the relatively stiff torsion zone of the s ...

Lorentz Force from a Current-Carrying Wire on a Charge in Motion under the Assumption of Neutrality in the Symmetrical Frame of Reference

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

It is commonly assumed that a wire conducting an electric current is neutral in the laboratory frame of reference (the rest frame of the lattice of positive ions). Some authors consider that the wire is neutral only in a symmetrical frame of reference, in ...

HTS high current cable for fusion application

Nikolay Bykovskiy

State-of-the-art magnets of fusion devices, which are based on low temperature superconductors (LTS), have almost reached their technological limits in terms of generated magnetic fields. Further progress can be made using novel high temperature supercondu ...

A High-performance FPGA Architecture Using One-Level RRAM-based Multiplexers

Giovanni De Micheli, Xifan Tang, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon

Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM)-based routing multiplexers, built using a one-level structure, are significantly more delay efficient than state-of-art SRAM-based implementations thanks to their lower achievable on-state resistance. In addition, the ...

Design Optimization of Round Strands Made by Twisted Stacks of HTS Tapes

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Rainer Wesche

Atwisted stack of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes soldered into copper profiles was used as a strand in the fabrication of the 60-kA/ 12-T HTS cable prototype at the Center for Research in Plasma Physics (CRPP). Considering the strand in gener ...

Results and analysis of the hot-spot temperature experiment for a cable-in-conduit conductor with thick conduit

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák

In the design of future DEMO fusion reactor a long time constant (similar to 23 s) is required for an emergency current dump in the toroidal field (TF) coils, e.g. in case of a quench detection. This requirement is driven mainly by imposing a limit on forc ...

Applicability of Non-Destructive Examination to Iter TF Joints Nb3Sn

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Stephen Alfred March

The Iter TF joints are of a twin-box design and the critical parameters of the overall resistance are 1) the contact between cable and termination, and 2) the resistance between two terminations. This paper describes applicability of non-destructive examin ...
