IMPROVED COIL CAPABLE OF GENERATING AN INTENSE MAGNETIC FIELD AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAID COIL

摘要

A method for manufacturing a coil for generating an intense magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. Turns are formed in a cylindrical tube made of conducting or superconducting material. At least one indentation is formed in an edge of at least one turn. Insulating material is positioned between the turn including the indentation and an adjacent turn. The recess forms with the insulating material a channel between the interior and the exterior of the tube when the coil is stressed.
