Antonio,
I used a combination of calculation, info from this list, the Corum's
TC tutor program, and personal experience from observing the beat
measurements that arise from various k values in 2 coil systems.
These methods result in results and measurements that cluster
closely around the close-coupled values for magnifiers, the
difference from looser coupled cases was striking. It is possible
that unaccounted for factors are confounding my results.
