Re: Longitudinal Forces in Tesla Coil Metalic Conductors

Hi,

A google search only pulls "two" references one of which is the 
pupman list the other is a message board:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Amperian+longitudinal+force%22

"Amperian current elements" also draws no reasonable references...

Cheers,

        Terry
