Abstract

In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises an apparatus (10) for generating electrical power which utilizes an electrically superconductive coil (22) immersed in a cryogenic fluid for generating a magnetic field within a region surrounding the superconductive coil (22) when an electrical current circulates in the superconductive coil (22). The apparatus further includes a prime mover (24) and a conduit (26, 30) which conducts a flow of gas resulting from evaporation of a cryogenic fluid to the prime mover (24) to induce rotational motion in the prime mover (24). An electrical conductor (44) is rotatably mounted within the region surrounding the superconductive coil (22) in which the magnetic field is generated. The electrical conductor (44) is operatively connected to the prime mover (24) so that rotational movement of the prime mover (24) is transferred to the electrical conductor (24) to generate an electrical output current.
