Electrical power generation system

摘要

In one embodiment, the invention comprises a system for manufacturing a superconductive electrical conductor. A channel (140) is formed in a mold (130) that is formed from a ceramic material having a negative heat coefficient of expansion. A material (142) having a positive heat coefficient of expansion that develops superconductivity characteristics upon the application of heat is deposited in the channel. Heat is applied to the mold (130) with the material (142) that develops superconductivity characteristics deposited in the channel to develop the superconductivity characteristics in the deposited material. In a particular embodiment, the negative heat coefficient of expansion and said positive heat coefficient of expansion are complementary, such that change with heat in dimensions of the channel (140) formed in the mold (130) and change with heat in dimensions of the material (142) deposited in the channel (140) are substantially the same. In a more particular embodiment the channel forms a coil (22).
