Revolutionary Direct Double-Helix™ Technology

February 27, 2008 – The Advanced Magnet Lab (AML), Melbourne, Florida announces their latest breakthrough in magnet technology called Direct Double-Helix™. This technology enables the design and manufacturing of magnet coils “directly” without conventional conductor and winding processes. Additionally, coil configurations can be optimized vary conductor characteristics such as significantly reducing coil resistance/heat load along the 3D coil path – while still achieving perfect fields of most any multipole order.

DOE Grant to further develop Enabling Magnet Technology

July 13, 2007 – The Advanced Magnet Lab, Inc. (AML), Melbourne Florida has been awarded a Phase II SBIR grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE) for the development of “Bent Dipole” superconducting accelerator magnets based on AML’s patented Double-Helix™ (DH) technology. Magnets based on this breakthrough technology show significantly improved field quality, robustness, reliability, radiation resistance, and even reduced costs.
