A novel method of reducing the undesired skin effect in electrical conductors is presented. Specific applications including efficient power transmission and high frequency magnetic field generation are discussed, and the advantages over prior art are mentioned. The present invention modifies the inductance of a given conductor, allowing the current flowing in the surface of the conductor due to skin effect to diffuse through the remaining conductor area. Inductance is modified in a distributed, continuous fashion via external magnetic structures, ensuring both manufacturability and usability of the resultant conductor. When skin effect inside a conductor is reduced, power loss of transmitted electrical signals is reduced accordingly. Therefore, the present invention represents a significant improvement over prior art.
