Metal composite T-junction terminals for MW-class aerospace electric power distribution
An electrical component for the electrical wiring and interconnection system, the T-junction delivers power from a main high power cable to lower power branches. This was designed for use with high power density superconducting cables.
​
Design and Scaling Laws of a 40-MW-class Electric Power Distribution System for Liquid-H2 Fuel-Cell Propulsion
Masses of electrical components designed for different currents was calculated and included in the distribution system mass analysis.
​
Flux-Switching Machines for All Electric Aircraft Applications
Electrical and magnetic loss mechanisms and values were determined for different motor designs and operational conditions.

A Double Rotor Flux Switching Machine with HTS Field Coils for All Electric Aircraft Applications
For multiple motor designs the thermal management system, mechanical structure, and electrical connections were designed. The mechanical structures underwent FEM stress analysis. A prototype motor subsection (statorette) was designed, fabricated, and tested at Air Force Research Laboratory. Values for electrical and magnetic loss were updated for different designs and operational conditions.

Cryogenic Electrical Properties of an Aluminum-Beryllium Nanocomposite
Cryoresistive AlBeMet 162H had its electrical resistivity measured at a range of cryogenic temperatures and applied transverse magnetic fields. The resistivity of AlBeMet 162H is lower than Cu in the range of 80K-150K, and AlBeMet 162H is less than a quarter of the mass density. Cost analysis was performed and it was found an AlBeMet 162H cable would be 10x the cost of a similar ampacity Cu cable.
​
Review of Materials for HTS Magnet Impregnation
A review of methods and materials for high-temperature superconducting electromagnetic winding impregnation. Included is an analysis for MgB2 motor winding impregnation requirements.
​
​AC Loss of Various Conductors for Power Cables, Busbars, Motor Windings in Cryogenic Electric Aircraft
An introduction (more works to come on this topic!) to a few different high amperage conductor options for AC-loss applications.​
​
​Design and Development of the CHEETA LH2 Electrical Wiring and Interconnection System and Suitable Electrical Power System Architectures
Updates on the design of the NASA CHEETA electrical wiring and interconnection system ground demonstration. Included in this paper are details of the RF Interrogation method to monitor stability of HTS superconducting cables in a corrugated metal cryostat.​
