Abstract
A superconductor coating inclusive, tape-like electrical conductor and windings using such conductor for magnets and electrical machines, etc. The described windings are suited for inclusion of successor superconductor materials such as yttrium barium copper oxide wherein magnetic flux related losses can potentially be excessive and preclude successful machine operation. Winding orientation and configuration of the conductor in an alternating current machine for lower losses are disclosed along with methods and apparatus for achieving the desired windings. Windings intended for differing locations within a machine of this type are made possible by the invention. Equations relating to magnetic losses incurred in such windings are also disclosed.
