Abstract

A superconducting energy storage inductor having two D-shaped coils with their flat sides being adjacent and facing one another. The coils are restrained from moving relative to one another and are immersed in a cryogenic fluid. The coils are connected in series and when provided with current, the resulting magnetic fields of the coils oppose one another.
