Abstract
A magnetic gear arrangement includes: a first gear member for generating a first magnetic field, a second gear member for generating a second magnetic field, and a coupling device which provides an arrangement of interpoles between the first gear member and the second gear member. The interpoles couple the first and second magnetic fields to produce a gearing between the first and second gear members. The first gear member has superconducting magnets or coils for generating the first magnetic field and/or the second gear member has superconducting magnets or coils for generating the second magnetic field.
