Abstract
A new design for an aluminum stabilized superconductor which embeds the superconducting cable within a high purity aluminum stabilizer. This stabilizer is, in turn, partially surrounded by an aluminum alloy sheath. The aluminum alloy sheath is constructed and arranged so that at least one exterior surface of the stabilizer is open for exposure to a coolant. Preferably, this open exterior surface of the stabilizer will be knurled for greater cooling efficiency.
