Hello to all!! I hope to be around a while soaking up information.
Reason for thread
So after about 3 months of; researching, dead ends, and hours of youtube demonstrations, I've come here to learn from people much more experienced than I.
My Application
I am trying to build a coil with a 2 inch diameter. I want it to produce a 1.4T field in it's center. The coil can only be 1/2 an thick. I will then make a core out of 99.95% iron wire and epoxy. I am basically trying to make an electromagnet with it a core equal in size and strength as a 2x1x1 inch N42 bar magnet.
My Questions
What I can't figure out is how to calculate the b-field of a starship coil. On top of that, I can't decide on which type of coil will produce the strongest field at limited thickness.
I haven't been able to find out why a starship type coil produces a stronger magnetic field than a traditional electromagnet. Does anyone know the answers to these questions or have a link they could share?
