Abstract
An electromagnet comprising having one or more channels. Each channel has provided therein a conductor element comprising one or more layers of superconductor material for conducting electrical current along an axis of the channel. The conductor element is arranged to contact sidewalls of the channel through first and second wedge surfaces that are inclined with respect to one another such that a force biasing the conductor element in a direction perpendicular to the axis generates opposing contact forces on the wedge surfaces that act to compress the conductor element along a direction with a component perpendicular to the force.
