The invention provides a superconductor comprising particles made of a superconductive material, and a conductive material. The conductive material is selected to be driven to a superconductive state when in proximity to the superconductive material, and preferably at least includes gallium. An unbroken length of the conductive material is located sufficiently close to a plurality of the particles to be driven to a superconductive state by the superconductive material.

A method of making an oxide superconductor wire is described. A combination of YBaCuOparticles and HgO is prepared. The combination is formed into a wire. The combination is heated so that the HgO decomposes into Hg and O. The O from the HgO is provided to the particles. The Hg from the HgO is provided to the particles. The Hg from the HgO is noble with respect to the particles. The combination is allowed to cool at a rate sufficient to prevent recombination of the Hg and O from the HgO, so that at least a substantial portion of the Hg from the HgO remains in the metallic state.

The invention relates to an actuator system for a power modifier of the kind having a power modifier body that is secured to a wall, first and second terminals over which a voltage is applied, a power-modifying portion that modifies electric power from the first terminal to the second terminal, and a power modifier member, movably secured to the power modifier body and connected to the power-modifying portion so that the power-modifying portion modifies the electric power upon movement of the power modifier member relative to the power modifier body and the wall. The actuator system includes an actuator body that is securable in a stationary position relative to the wall, a reference source, and an actuator connected to the reference source, the actuator having a stationary portion secured in a stationary position to the actuator body and a movable portion that moves relative to the actuator body, the movable portion having a surface that engages with the power modifier member of the power modifier to move the power modifier member in response to the reference source.
