Claims
- 1. In a synchronous machine having a rotor fixed to a shaft and said rotor having superconducting rotor windings, bearings rotatably supporting said shaft, a stator having superconducting stator windings about said rotor, and a gap between said rotor and said stator, means for cooling said rotor and said stator windings by very low temperature helium, the improvement wherein said rotor and stator windings and said gap are disposed inside a common enclosure connected to a common vacuum source, wherein vacuum-resisting oil seals and cryogenic traps separate said gap from said bearings of said shaft, and wherein said means for cooling said stator windings comprises a bath of liquid helium surrounding said stator windings, wherein said rotor windings are contained inside a rotor enclosure, and said machine further comprises means for flowing hypercritical helium inside rotor enclosure for cooling said rotor windings.
