Electrification of energy, aviation and shipping requires lightweight, highly efficient electrical machines. Conventional permanent-magnet machines are difficult to scale to multi-megawatt wind systems while maintaining low mass, or to the power densities required for transport. The SuperMachine concept aligns the machine structure with the benefits of HTS materials and provides a highly...
