Abstract
A magnetically-activated switch including a high temperature superconductor. The magnetic switch includes a high temperature superconductor coupled at both ends to a rigid beam, a thermal shield structure is disposed adjacent to the superconductor and a magnetic field source is positioned near the superconductor to allow transitioning of the superconductor in and out of the superconducting state.
