Switch for controlling current flow in superconductors.

摘要

A superconductive switch is provided with a pair of superconductive routes which are wound around a cylindrical core in a bifilar fashion. One superconductive wire is constituted of a pair of superconductive routes. The superconductive routes are twisted around each other at a uniform pitch. By virtue of the twisting, electromagnetic force which may exerted in the superconductive wires cancel each other, so that the wire-movement of the superconductive wire is restrained. Accordingly, the electrical current flowing through the superconductive switch can be increased.
