  • Abstract
    A saddle superconducting magnet for experimental MHD generator has been designed, constructed and tested. The magnet has φ 44 cm warm bore, 103 cm effective magnetic length and 4 T central field. It consists of 17 layers, each layer has two circular saddle coils with 54.5° segment cross section. The conductor is 2 mm × 20 mm NbTi monolithic provided by Supercoil Inc. The coils are assembled on the bore tube by spiral bandings. The performances and the test results of the saddle superconducting magnet is presented
