The Story So Far http://www.mundogym.com.ar/Secciones/Deportes/fotos/boxeo/box-punch.jpg
The Story So Far • Used HTS tape to make a punch • Selected radius of solenoid based on measurements • Designed and built apparatus • Wrapped HTS tape • Attempted to Connect Leads
Apparatus Dimensions • 3” high with ¾” thick base • 5” O.D. with ½” thick walls • < 1 ¼” Inner diameter to slide PVC over • 15/16” Through hole for punch
HTS Tape Wrapping For a 2.5” diameter • 1.5 m tape 2” length • 60 m tape should be 80” • Our solenoid is 6” tall -> 13 layers
Tests • Inner magnetic field with Magnetometer • Critical Current • Self-Field limitations (voltmeter and Magnetometer) • Force • Compare to results from copper solenoid
Immediate Goals • Use propane torch to solder power leads • Experiment with aspect ratio • Insulate with Kapton tape • Heat conduction calculations for Helium • Build final sized apparatus
Final Design • Flat disk of Al from original ingot • Two large diameter tubes attached to bottom disk • Lid
