Abstract :
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida designs, builds and operates the world´s highest field dc resistive magnets, providing fields up to 33 T in purely resistive systems and up to 45 T in resistive-superconducting hybrids. The next generation of magnets is presently being designed and used technology developed for our hybrid to upgrade the field in our various resistive magnets. Coil designs are presented for the following 20 MW dc systems: 1) a new 50 mm bore magnet expected to provide 32 T, 2) a new 32 mm bore magnet expected to provide 35 T, and 3) a new high-homogeneity magnet expected to provide 30 T with inhomogeneity of 50 ppm or less over a 10 mm diameter spherical volume.
