High voltage generation with a high T/sub c/ superconducting resonant circuit

An electronic resonant circuit is introduced with the consideration of using an inductor made by a Ag-clad (Bi,Pb)/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/Ca/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 10+x/, HTS wire. With this inductor, substantially higher voltages compared with using normal copper winding inductor can be built up by the circuit. Therefore this method can be used to generate high voltages with the HTS inductor from a low voltage source. An electronic controller has been built and used for the testing, and the resonant circuit, using the HTS inductor, is analyzed.
