Abstract

The article reports that the Advanced Magnet Lab will use funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a direct-drive generator with superconducting wires in its windings for use in wind turbines. The article reports that the generator, which will be cryogenically cooled, will eliminate the need for a gearbox.
