MHD

It is a superconducting magnet system, wound using cable in conduit, for a magneto-hydraulic experimental linear generator. The system, delivered in 1993, is composed of two saddle shaped coils, each 3750 mm long, 1423 mm width and 1160 mm high; the magnet bore has a dimension of 800 mm x 1100 mm. The coils weight is 7.5 tons each and they are mounted on a support structure of about 15 tons.
