An embodiment includes a magnetic wiggler comprising: first and second magnets adjacent each other in a line of at least 50 magnets; a pathway, adjacent to the line, along which an electron beam may travel that is to couple to a particle accelerator; and a plurality of vias on multiple sides of each of the first and second magnets to provide multiple currents, having opposite directions, respectively to the first and second magnets to orient the first and second magnets with opposing non-volatile orientations. Other embodiments are provided herein.
