Does anybody have references for this? Maybe mention the 1941 discovery of niobium nitride, the 1953 discovery of superconducting vanadium, the or the Westinghouse developments?
This used to read:
"Superconducting magnets can reach a much higher magnetic field intensity than normal magnets and they can hold this field for a long time. This is particularly needed in particle accelerators and nuclear magnetic resonance. For economic reasons these magnets are also used when a field of more than 1 tesla must be maintained for a long time."
which is all a bit wrong. I rewrote it and added the stuff on quenching. It might need a tidy up, I'm a bit tired, and - um - my magnet just quenched, which is why I've got time to do this. - 147.173.84.232 19:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Nick
Why does quenching increases heart rate? Or is this a joke? Then it should be removed. Alexander Iwaschkin 16:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious, how, in practical terms, the current is dumped into the magnet and then the magnet is switched to a closed loop. — Omegatron 19:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
They come as ordenary looking magnets as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1yzH_7NIMg
They are verry cool, but ommited from this article

The diagram of the superconducting magnet is not correct. The center of field is not in the center of the lower large superconducting coil. This is caused by the field of the compensation coil right above. The center is shifted downwards. Spinliquid ( talk) 10:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

The article about superconducting magnets makes no mention of ceramic high temperature superconductors. American Superconductor - http://www.amsuper.com/ - has developed superconductor wire using the ceramic high temperature superconductors. They use a procedure that is similar to the production of fiber optic cable. Their products have included magnets sold to Australia for a cyclotron and a giant superconductor "battery" to help prevent brownouts in Europe. It seems that the majority of their production now is military related. |

Fermilab achieves world-record field strength for accelerator magnet Using Nb-Sn, claims 14.1 Tesla - previous record was 13.8 T. - Could mention and explain why accelerator magnets are harder than the other magnets mentioned - maybe its the extent of the field, or its uniformity along the beam track ? - Rod57 ( talk) 13:20, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
Taming the superconductors of tomorrow includes latest on SbSn3 coils, & prospects for HTS. Could be good source for History and/or Uses sections. - Rod57 ( talk) 11:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
