EdStainless, I was afraid that was going to be the case. I guess I can see where a thin foil could be wound with the same number of turns as some large gauge wire. Unfortunately, I'm hoping to replace a smaller gauge wire so my foil turns will end up decreasing by almost a factor of 10.
I...
Hello,
I'm curious what the advantages and disadvantages are to winding a solenoid coil using copper foil, as opposed to wire. I'm also curious what the difference is for calculating the inductance of a foil coil. Is the inductance roughly the same, if you wind the coil full of wire or foil...
Thank you MagMike. That's exactly what we're looking for.
I wish I could just discuss the project on the forum, but the company won't allow me to do that.
Hello,
I work for a company that's developing a new product from some existing technology. We have a question regarding the existing technology. It's a solenoid actuated device, similar to a fuel injector. We'd like to know if the design can be improved upon. It would be nice if the device...
