A High-Pinning-Type-II Superconducting Maglev for ICF Target Delivery: main principles, material options and demonstration models

Abstract Nowadays, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research related to noncontact positioning and transport of free-standing cryogenic targets is playing an increasingly important role in this field. The operational principle behind these technologies the magnetic acceleration levitating target carrier (or sabot) made from Type-II, high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). physics interaction among levitation, guidance propulsion systems based on a quantum levitation high-pinning HTSCs mutually normal fields. This paper discusses current delivery strategies future perspectives create different permanent magnet guideway (PMG) for ICF with levitation. In particular, several PMG building options optimizing both suspension using HTSC-sabot will be analyzed. Credible solutions have been demonstrated linear round PMGs, including ones cyclotron process realize high-running velocities limited track. Focusing physics, we describe detail main aspects results obtained computations proof experiments. High-pinning HTSC promises stable self-controlled accelerate placed HTSC-sabots up required injection 200 m/s beyond.
