20 tesla Bitter Magnet:

, , , ...


Figure 1: Schematic cross section of a 20 tesla Bitter Magnet.
This magnet with a maximum field of 20 tesla (T) (this is 400000 times the earth magnetic field) consists of two concentric electrical coils. The coils are powerd by a 6000 kW (6MW) power supply. (20 kA, 300V) These coils are electrically conected in series. The outer coil consists of about 128 turs, each built up from 3 or 4 copper "Bitter" plates (conceived by Francis Bitter) with insulator plates in between. (see figure 2) The inner coil has about 86 turns. (see figure 3) The magnet is cooled by de-ionized water of about 10°C at a flow of 300 m3/h and an inlet pressure of 12bar (120 kPa) The cooling water goes in axial direction through the small holes in the bitter plates of the coils, wich line up exactly in every plate. (see figure 4)
