A tensile load wire intended to move transversely to its longitudinal direction relative to a fluid such as water during tensile loading of the wire in its longitudinal direction has an oblong cross-section and at least partly comprises material of great rigidity and great strength. The wire is preformed so that it is curved in a plane which is substantially parallel with the longest dimension of the oblong cross-section. Use of such a wire as a water-shearing wire is also claimed. |
