Success criterion derivation for the swarm satellite application of
pulsed superconductive solenoids in freight transport
- Morgan Wegener
Abstract
A thought experiment on the effect of the central yoke rod in a
superconductive solenoid and the resulting induction and repulsive
effect on a steel plate placed above the solenoid is explored with an
analytical derivation using equations from various literature sources. A
review of the current design thinking in pulsed solenoids is presented
before a sample design is investigated through multiple scenarios.
