The objective of this project is to fabricate a frictionless                    bearing from High Tc ceramic superconductors which would operate                above 77 K.  Rare earth magnets with a magnetic flux density of                 approximately 1 Tesla will be used to provide levitation                        pressures of approximately 0.1 MPa (1 bar).  Rotation speeds of                 3,000 to 10,000 RPM will be attempted, although speeds upto                     100,000 RPM may be possible.  The research will include several                 tasks.  The important ones being the processing of the ceramic                  housing from yttrium barium cuprate superconducting ceramic by                  the superplastic sinter-forging method, and the design and                      implementation of the cooling system.
