Stabilized, Levitated Superconducting Rings

Abstract
A levitated, stabilized superconducting ring is described. The ring, wound of 3310 turns of Nb‐25% Zr 10‐mil wire, has been operated with currents up to 16 A. It has been floated, with its associated Dewar, independent of all physical connections, for periods exceeding 7 h. Ring stabilization criteria and a system to maintain the ring position are presented.
