Abstract

See full text

A method of measuring a cryogenic fluid level utilizing a high temperature ceramic superconductor material driven above its level of critical current density. A high temperature ceramic superconductor is placed in cryogenic fluid and a voltage is applied between two points on the superconductor. The voltage drop is then measured at a third point on the superconductor. This voltage drop corresponds to the change in cryogenic fluid level, and thus can be used to measure the fluid level. Sensitivity of the measurement is increased by driving the high temperature ceramic superconductor above its level of critical current density.
