ABSTRACT:
An electrical magnet having at least one turn of electrical conductor which is continuously rippled in small radius arcs around is larger circumference. Each ripple in the conductor is formed to lie in a plane normal to the net magnetic field experienced by that ripple. For the special case of a planar turn of conductor, the ripples lie in substantially the same plane as the conductor turn itself. When current is flowing in the rippled conductor, the conductor will experience a magnetically induced force directed outward normal to the conductor. To oppose this outwardly directed force, the conductor is provided support by means which engage the conductor at the inner portions of the conductor between the ripples therein. The support means may consist of members or columns extending to a solid circular wall as, for example, a wall formed in bedrock. The tensile load in the rippled conductor is much less than in an unsupported large radius circular conductor, and, in addition, the rippled conductor is capable of undergoing expansions and contractions without building up damaging strain levels in the conductor. A superconducting rippled conductor magnet may be thermally insulated from warm support structure by thermal shields and vacuum dewars which are also rippled.
