1. A cable comprising:
a supply hose comprising;
a supply hose interior surface,
a supply hose interior cavity defined by the supply hose interior surface, and
a first sub-conductor being disposed within the supply hose interior cavity, wherein a supply hose interior space is formed between the first sub-conductor and the supply hose interior surface within the supply hose interior cavity, and wherein the supply hose interior space provides a supply pathway for supply hose coolant;
a return hose comprising;
a return hose interior surface,
a return hose interior cavity defined by the return hose interior surface, and
a second sub-conductor being disposed within the return hose interior cavity, wherein a return hose interior space is formed between the second sub-conductor and the return hose interior surface within the return hose interior cavity, and wherein the return hose interior space provides a return pathway for the supply hose coolant supplied through the supply hose interior space by merging the supply hose to the return hose at a load and wherein the supply pathway is connected to a cooling device through a coolant supply conduit and wherein the return pathway is connected to the cooling device through a coolant return conduit, wherein the first sub-conductor supplies current to the load and the second sub-conductor supplies current to the load; and
