Superconducting alternator

Claim 1

A SUPERCONDUCITN ELECTRICAL GENERTOR, COMPRISING, AN INSULATED VESSEL DESIGNED TO CONTAIN A CRYOGENIC COOLANT CAPABLE OF REFRIGERATING TO BELOW THE SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION TEMPERATURE OF THE SUPERCONDUCTING GENERATOR, A HOLLOW CYLINDRICAL SHELL MADE OF SUPERCONDUCITING MATERIAL AND DISPOSABLE IN SAID VESSEL, A COIL MADE OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL AND WOUND AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF SAID SHELL, THEEBY FORMING A SOLENOID, A COIL MADE OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL AND WOUND AROUND THE INSIDE OF SAID SHELL, AND SERVING AS AN ARMATURE AND HAVING OUTPUT LEADS AT ITS ENDS, A PISTON MADE OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL AND DESIGNED TO BE RECIPROCATED WITHIN SAID ARMATURE COIL, AND DESIGNED WHEN RECIPROCATD, WHILE SAID GENERATOR IS UNDER SUPERCONDUCTING CONDITIONS, TO INDUCE AN ALTERNATING CURRENT IN SAID ARMATURE COIL, WHICH CURRENT MAY BE DRAWN OUT THROUGH SAID ARMATURE COIL LEADS, A HEATER WIRE WOUND AROUND SAID SHELL AND SERVING AS A FLUX TRAP SWITCH WHEN ENERGIZED TO HEAT A PORTION OF SAID SHELL TO ABOVE ITS TRANSITION TEMPERATURE, A LENGTH OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL CONNECTED IN SHORTCIRCUITING RELATION ACROSS SAID SOLENOIL COIL LEADS SUBJECTED TO SUPERCONDUCTING CONDITONS, AND A HEATER WIRE WOUND AROUND SAID LENGTH AND SERVING AS A FLUX SWITCH WHEN ENERIGIZED TO HEAT SAID LENGTH TO ABOVE ITS TRANSITION TEMPERATURE.
