These would permit high-, er operating temperatures fori heat engines, such as steam and gas turbines, including jet "air- craft engines, with resulting in-; creased efficiency. Permanent Magnets Smaller electric motors andj transformers which could be built' if permanent magnets ould be! made 10 times stronger than present ones.
