Actively shielded air-core superconducting machines: optimization and design considerations
… cooling. This thesis explores the use of actively shielded air-core superconducting electric machines to address these challenges. A design concept is presented employing mature and low-cost Nb3Sn windings on a conduction cooled assembly. First, electromagnetic performance of the device is …

Comparative Analysis of Electrodynamic Toroidal Radiation Shielding Configurations
… reduced or mitigated outright through radiation shielding. Because protons and other charged particles comprise most of these radiation particles, strong magnetic fields could be generated around spacecraft to deflect incoming charged radiation particles. This thesis investigates the performance …
