Superconducting-transmission-line project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory
Abstract
Results are presented of experiments aimed at developing advanced, high-capacity, power transmission conductors using superconducting materials derived from Nb3Ge. Successful efforts for producing a model superconducting (Nb3Sn) joint for use in superconducting lines are described. Realistic theoretical calculations have been completed on the cooldown of a model ac transmission line designed by the Brookhaven National Laboratory program.
