Just want to make sure this makes sense: I came up with the following
figures for my coil using AWG-COIL.EXE, but I don't know if that program
is valid for a basket-weave style coil (this is probably a stupid
question).
From AWG-COIL:
For length/diameter ratio = 0.45:1 and winding pitch = 2
Inductance = 2500 microhenries
Coil length = 10.19 inches or 258.8 millimeters
Coil diameter = 22.64 inches or 575.1 millimeters
Number of turns = 63
Wire length required = 373.7 feet or 113.9 meters
If you can confirm this is valid for a basket-weave style coil, I'll go
get started making sawdust!
Thanks,
Eric
