The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the conceptual design of high-temperature permanent magnet biased active magnetic bearings (PM-AMBs) (permanent magnets used for bearings to significantly reduce their resistance; often used in magnetic levitation) conceptual design modifications to an existing machine train to utilize PM-AMBs, and testing key materials for PM-AMB construction and operation.
