In the Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX), a hot plasma is formed about a levitating superconducting dipole magnet in the center of a 5 m diameter vacuum vessel. The levitated magnet is suspended magnetically during an eight hour experimental run, then lowered and recooled overnight. The floating F-coil magnet consists of a layer-wound magnet with 4 sections, designed to wrap flux lines closely about the outside of the levitated cryostat. The conductor is a niobium-tin Rutherford cable, with enough stabilizer to permit passive quench protection. Lead strips are used as thermal capacitors to slow coil heating. An optimized system of bumpers and cold-mass supports reduces heat leak into the helium vessel. Airbags catch the floating coil on quenches and faults, preventing collision with the vacuum vessel.
