A system (10) for cooling a superconductor device includes a cryocooler (12) located in a stationary reference frame and a closed circulation system (11) external to the cryocooler (12). The closed circulation system (11) interfaces the stationary reference frame with a rotating reference frame in which the superconductor device is located. A method of cooling a superconductor device includes locating a cryocooler (12) in a stationary reference frame, and transferring heat from a superconductor device located in a rotating reference frame to the cryocooler (12) through a closed circulation system (11) external to the cryocooler (12). The closed circulation system interfaces the stationary reference frame with the rotating reference frame.
