An acyclic homopolar electromechanical power converter that uses
superconducting series connected rotor elements for series summation of
magnetomotive and electromotive force. The novel rotor assembly comprises
a plurality of conductor elements connected in series by superconducting
series connections. The behavior of the superconducting series
connections provides a form of flux isolation and series summation of
forces that has heretofore been impossible in electromechanical power
converters. The superconducting series connections further modify the
rotor impedance of an acyclic homopolar electromechanical power converter
to provide long needed improvements to acyclic homopolar
electromechanical power converter designs.
