As the Navy moves to the all-electric warship, superconducting materials will play a key enabling role. High temperature superconducting (HTS) motors and generators will enable extended range, high-efficiency, high-power density naval propulsion, and compact generators for weapons and ship systems. Compact mobile HTS generators also may provide portable/mobile power for littoral and expeditionary operation, naval air, and homeland security. The second generation high-temperature superconductors (2G-HTS) based on yttrium-bariumcopper- oxide (YBCO) ...
