Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Gagic, Mladen (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)A degaussing system can be used to reduce the detectability of the magnetic signature of a ship. Commonly, a degaussing system consists of a set of onboard copper coils that produce a magnetic field to compensate for the magnetic signature. High-temperature superconductive degaussing coils are considered an alternative to copper degaussing...journal article 2024

Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)Detection of the magnetic signature of ships can be avoided by using a degaussing system; a set of on-board copper coils that compensates for the magnetic signature. High temperature superconductors (HTS) are currently investigated as a replacement for copper degaussing coils. By using HTS, we have to deal with higher currents and therefore...journal article 2022

Wikkerink, D.P. (author), Mor, A. R. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ross, Robert (author)In order to avoid detection by sea mines, the magnetic signature of merchant and naval vessels can be reduced by running a current through a set of on-board copper coils. This process is called degaussing. Studies have shown that the volume, weight and energy losses of a degaussing system can be reduced by replacing the copper coils with high...conference paper 2019
