Patent ID: 8344835

Claim:
A winding method comprising: providing a source reel which has a superconducting wire wound therearound, a first bobbin which comprises a first lane and a second lane, and a second bobbin which comprises a third lane and a fourth lane; winding the superconducting wire from the source reel onto the first lane of the first bobbin a first number of times in a first direction; fixing the first bobbin and the second bobbin to each other; winding the superconducting wire from the source reel onto the third lane of the second bobbin a second number of times in the first direction; separating the first bobbin and the second bobbin from each other; and winding the superconducting wire from the first lane of the first bobbin onto the fourth lane of the second bobbin a third number of times in a second direction which is different from the first direction while winding the superconducting wire from the third lane of the second bobbin onto the source reel the third number of times in the second direction.
