A new design for a thermomagnetic generator is described where the magnetic field that is applied to the working magnetic material is cycled as the working magnetic material is thermally cycled. The magnetic field is produced by a superconducting coil. The energy generated and the efficiency of the thermomagnetic generator are given for various operating conditions using gadolinium as the working magnetic material. Hysteresis losses in the superconductor are considered as well as thermal transfer rates between a working thermal fluid and the magnetic material.
