Hi Ed,

Agreed! The faithful should have something to base their 
"imagination" on. I started out at a size similar to yours. But soon 
realized the RF losses (quite amazing and unexpected). I then simply 
jumped up to a wire size which I thought would be permissible. It 
didn't take long to realize that even 1 awg was getting too small for 
what was needed (I used it anyway).

I also realized turn to turn spacing would be necessary to make this 
thing even possible (considering we have already stepped outside the 
norm). Thus, the turn to turn spacing was designed in  - you can 
imagine why). Like I told a PE today (yes, I can make it happen, but 
there are some absolutes you must realize).

I ended up with a massive coil. There are so many weight issues to 
deal with, not to mention several other man over matter issues. It 
became super silly after awhile (running models, just to get close). 
Eventually, the model revealed itself. Obviously, a myriad of other 
models could be looked at, but nevertheless, they would all be huge 
if they were to actually have a physical possibility of working if 
built to conventional coil geometry.

Take care,
Bart
