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.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
