Abstract: A motor is provided. The motor includes a winding support element defining an interior, a rotor having a shaft mounted inside the interior, the shaft defining a central axis, a superconducting wire wound around the winding support element in a winding pattern, where the winding pattern includes a plurality of turns around the winding support element. The winding pattern includes for a first portion of each turn proximate to the rotor, the wiring pattern curves with respect to a toroidal angle about the central axis, and for a second portion of each turn distant from the rotor, the wiring pattern curves with respect to a toroidal angle about the central axis. Cooper pairs travelling through the wire accelerate with respect to the toroidal angle in the first portion, and decelerate with respect to the toroidal angle in the second portion.
