A 4 foot length form will need to be about 6" diameter for 20 awg magnet wire,
heavy build insulation. This will be a h/d ratio of 8:1 ( 48" / 6" = 8). A
ratio
of 4 to 5 has been reported as an optimum ratio to use. If you can give the
diameter of your form and the power you plan to supply the coil, you should
get
more diffinitive responses.
