DOE Grant to further develop Enabling Magnet TechnologyJuly 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. The DOE provided “Trailblazer Report” which assessed AML’s technology following a Phase I SBIR project stated that the technology has important applications in a wide range of industries with particular impact in particle accelerators for proton therapy and high-energy physics. Completion of the $750,000 DOE sponsored program will yield fully tested “bent” superconducting magnets, enabling new applications and revolutionizing others for many large markets. Application of the DH technology will significantly reduce the cost of cancer treatment centers based on proton and carbon therapy. This technology allows the destruction cancer cells with less harm on surrounding tissues than existing techniques. Other applications that will benefit from AML’s development include high-energy physics, fusion, industrial process control, and laboratory research magnets. Since 1995, the Advanced Magnet Lab has been providing revolutionary technology for the design and manufacture of advanced normal & superconducting magnets. AML’s core technologies are leveraged across a variety of markets to enable customer specific products and applications. These technologies are proven and differentiated with unmatched capability, performance, reliability, lead-time and cost competitiveness. These markets include medical, energy, research, space & defense. Contact: Mark Senti (321)728-7543 |
