  1. Welcome to Cambridge Dr. Philip Sargent, Diboride Conductors Ltd.

  2. Why come to Cambridge ? • 76 Nobel Prizes (Chicago 72, Columbia 60, Harward 40, MIT 36, Princeton 30, Humboldt Berlin 29) • Newton, Babbage, Maxwell, Bragg, Rutherford, Dirac, Whittle, Wilkes, Perutz, Kendrew, Crick, Watson, Sanger, Oatley, Klug, Milstein • Physics, Molecular Biology, Engineering

  3. Cambridge in the last 30 years • From 50 to 1600 high tech. companies • 45,000 employed, 2,000 millionaires locally • Since 1972, capitalisation of £40 billion • Science Park, SJIC, ARM, Software • ERBI 160 biotech, 60% industrial ink jets

  4. Cambridge in the last 3 years • Cambridge Entrepreneurship Centre (CEC) • 100 new businesses in 12 months • Judge Institute Business School (11 years) • 4th in Europe, 22nd World (FT rank) • UK’s Leading Technology Cluster • EEDA established, explicit target: • “Innovation Capital of Europe”

  5. Cambridge this year • A strong materials emphasis • Plastic Logic • 1.. Ltd • Polatis • Sentec • Cambridge Display Technology • Diboride Conductors Ltd.

  7. Constraint: Liquid Cryogens Operating Range

  8. Generators, Transformers, Cables, FCLs, Motors, Grid conditioning, power storage Capital cost is most important for all of these in deregulated power markets Why superconductors? Higher power density, 100x the current Smaller Lighter (MgB2 is 1/3 the density of Copper) Cheaper to buy and install Cheaper to operate Entirely new capabilities (FCLs) Engineering Needs

  9. Magnetic Fields 2-5 T(except cables) AC use requires T > 20 K (cryogenic cost) Materials parameters: Low cost: ~ 10 $/kA.m Practical volumes: Je (Jc 105kA/cm2 ) Low AC losses: W/kA.m at 50Hz. Flexible, low Je / strain sensitivity Materials Requirements
