Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A self contained self charging automatic, hydraulic activation mechanism (AHAM) for a superconducting energy magnetic storage (SMES) system is disclosed. The AHAM is operatively coupled to arc activated switches disposed across a superconducting coil to automatically close the switches upon a coolant dump. The arc activated switches are also self actuating and close in response to arcing across the switch contacts or across spark gaps provided on the switches.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 2, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 2, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 2, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
