Thanks Antonio! I should probably state again that the coil is being 
design for an SRSG drive (experimentally). Final k is not written in 
stone. Insulation problems are quite are with this configuration, but we 
will see. Depending on how the rim grounded measurements work out, much 
could change.

Take care,
Bart
