The magnet feeders for the European DEMO fusion reactor: Conceptual design and recent advances
Rainer Wesche, Roberto Guarino, Frédéric Michel
The magnet feeders are part of the critical systems of a fusion reactor since they represent the interface between the in-cryostat components at 4.5 K and the room-temperature cryogenic plant and power supply. The European DEMO tokamak foresees 16 toroidal ...
Lausanne2024Pyroresistive response of percolating conductive polymer composites
The pyroresistive response of conductive polymer composites (CPCs) has attracted much interest because of its potential applications in many electronic devices requiring a significant responsiveness to changes in external physical parameters such as temper ...
