• Magnetic simulations at DL

• Vector Fields Opera with Elektra rotation solver

• Magnet modelled as two coils

• Calculate expected power losses from eddy currents as wheel rotates, and resistive force this generates

• Spoked modelling taking place at RAL ( J. Rochford )

The plan is still the same…

• Sweep in parameter space of B-Field, Rotation Speed and Immersion (1 T, 2000 rpm, 50 mm)

• Observation of kicks as spokes traverse field

• Measurement of eddy currents by torque and direct heating ( Lei Zang: PhD student, Liv )

• Study of rotor-dynamics (LLNL: accelerometers)

Just waiting on:

• Safety sign-off

• Cage interlocks

• …Immersion calibration

• …Water and power re-connection to magnet

• …Cooling nozzle design and implementation
