Reliable and long endurance power sources have been frequently cited by ocean engineers and scientists as one of the most critical needs with ocean associated exploration and technology.

These coils, which weigh 110 tons, operate at temperatures near absolute zero, about 451 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. At these temperatures the magnet generates 18.5 kilogauss (a unit of magnetic field strength) with essentially no consumption of electricity. The magnet will be used with the worlds largest bubble chamber for detecting atomic particles.
