The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) Program was a three-year effort between 2018 and 2021 that developed novel Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) superconductor technologies then successfully utilized these to design, build, test first-in-class, high-field (∼20 T), representative-scale (∼3 m) superconducting toroidal field (TF) coil. program executed jointly by the MIT Plasma Science Fusion Center (PSFC) Commonwealth Systems (CFS) as technology enabler of pathway fusion energy,...
The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) is the first large-scale (∼3 m), high-field (∼20 T) superconducting fusion magnet based on Rare Earth Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO). Its objective was to retire risk for toroidal field in tokamak, a burning plasma class magnetic confinement energy device. Weighing 10,058 kg and utilizing 270 km of REBCO, TFMC non-insulated, stack-in-plate style magnet. It has three main components: (1) winding pack; (2) structural case; (3) case extensions, or...
A new superconducting magnet test facility was created at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) for SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) program. The designed constructed in parallel with TFMC between 2019 2021, capabilities design approaches tailored to needs of this project its timeline. major components include a cryostat (outer dimensions, 5.3 m×3.7 m×1.5 m) open bore; novel cooling system circulating supercritical helium closed-loop provide ∼600 W power ∼20 bar-a, K; 50 kA,...
Neutron reflectivity (NR) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) have been used to investigate the equilibrium surface adsorption behavior solution microstructure of mixtures anionic surfactant sodium 6-dodecyl benzene-4 sulfonate (SDBS) with nonionic surfactants monododecyl octaethylene glycol (C12EO8) triiscosaethylene (C12EO23). In SDBS/C12EO8 SDBS/C12EO23 solutions, globular mixed micelles are formed. However, addition Ca2+ ions results in a transition vesicle phase or...
Abstract A low-AC loss Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) cable, based on the VIPER cable technology has been developed by commonwealth fusion systems for use in high-field, compact tokamaks. The new is composed of partitioned and transposed ‘petals’ shaped to fit together a circular pattern with each petal containing REBCO tape stack insulated from other reduce AC losses. stainless-steel jacket adds mechanical robustness—also serving as vessel solder impregnation—while tube runs through...
