Db. Montgomery, THE FUTURE-PROSPECTS FOR LARGE-SCALE APPLICATIONS OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 7(2), 1997, pp. 134-145
Predictions of future market growth for large scale applications of su
perconductivity are very bullish. This paper discusses these predictio
ns in the context of research applications, defense and space, instrum
ents for science and medicine, machine tools, materials processing, tr
ansportation, energy and national security. The status and the technic
al and non-technical market factors likely to influence growth for eac
h of these applications are discussed.
