An Investigation of Superconductivity Applied to Rotary Energy Converters

This paper discusses superconductivity and the related Meissner effect in relation to electric power generators. Both effects have been suggested for use in improving electrical devices through reduction of friction and other losses, weight, and/or volume. The study described in this paper is analytic and preliminary in nature and without test data, but indicates that large superconductive power generators offer a good potential for future application.
