Composite superconductor and method of the production thereof
First Claim
1. A composite superconducting wire which comprises an elongated reinforcing member, at least one groove defined on the surface portion of the reinforcing member so as to extend generally in a longitudinal direction, and ceramic superconductor material accommodated in and extending along said groove, the ceramic superconductor material having a width less than the width of the groove, the groove being open.

Abstract
A composite superconducting wire using ceramic superconductor material in which one or more elongated superconductor material are accomodated in one or more grooves formed on an elongated reinforcing member so that a long size superconductor wire can be provided. Various methods of producing such composite superconductor wire are also disclosed.

- 12. A composite superconducting wire which comprises an elongated reinforcing member, at least one open groove defined on the surface portion of the reinforcing member so as to extend generally in a longitudinal direction, a ceramic superconductor material accommodated in and extending along said groove, the ceramic superconductor material having a width less than that of the groove, and a stabilizing member contained in the reinforcing member, extending in the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing member.
- 16. A composite superconducting wire which comprises an elongated reinforcing member, at least one open groove defined on the surface portion of the reinforcing member so as to extend generally in a longitudinal direction, a ceramic superconductor material accommodated in and extending along said groove, the ceramic superconductor material having a width less than that of the groove, and an outer enclosure for enclosing said reinforcing member with the ceramic superconductor wire so as to provide a path to allow flow of cooling medium around the reinforcing member.
