A three-phase motor is described which has one or more loops of superconductor for its rotor and uses superconducting field coils. The theory of the motor is outlined, including the case when flux is frozen into the rotor. The predictions of the theory are compared with the experimentally observed torque produced by the motor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
