Can an Electromagnet Produce 25T with 500 cm3 and How Much Current is Needed?

AI Thread Summary
Designing a Bitter electromagnet to produce 25T within a 500 cm3 volume is theoretically possible, but it would require significant current, with some labs reporting up to 17MW for their weakest DC field magnets. The feasibility of such a magnet is more about cost than size, as increasing or decreasing dimensions can still yield the same induction with the same electric power. Additionally, larger magnets have the advantage of being easier to cool compared to smaller ones. Overall, achieving a 25T field in a compact design presents substantial engineering challenges. The discussion emphasizes the complexity and resource requirements involved in high-field magnet design.

Hey guys, is it possible to design a Bitter eletromagnet that produces 25T and is approximately 500 cm3 in size? If so, how much current would it require? Thanks in advance for your responses guys..

I am not going to do the math but I will forward you to this article.

This lab builds 20T to 45T magnets and they claim their weakest DC field magnet takes 17MW. 25T is a very serious magnet.
 
Size doesn't determine the magnet's feasibility - "only" its cost...

You can increase or reduce all dimensions, including the experiment volume and the coil volume, and get the same induction from the same electric power.

Well, yes, a big magnet is easier to cool than a small one.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
