Abstract

A dynamoelectric machine has a rotor including a driven shaft at one end thereof, an undriven shaft at the other end and a central section connecting said shafts. A superconducting field winding is disposed within said central section with a torque tube located concentrically with the rotor shafts. The torque tube and superconducting field winding are supported in cantilever fashion to one end of the rotor shafts.
