...about the current that is consumed by resistance in the coils of the generator's magnet-a problem that has plagued experimenters in the past. Avco scientists are working on coils made of newly developed superconducting material that loses all electrical resistance when cooled to the temperature of liquid helium. A magnet with such coils can maintain a powerful field while consuming no current...
