Re: [TCML] how much wire

["Bart B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wire Length in feet regardless of cone or helical coil = (turns x (top 
radius + bottom radius) x pi) / 12

400 turn inverse cone with a bottom radius of 4.5" and top radius of 2"

(400 x (4.5+2) x 3.14)/12 = 680.7 ft.

So yes, 840 ft should more than do the job and 22G would be the correct 
choice of wire size.

For a cone 9" bottom , 4" top ,  12" high , and approx  400 turns  ,  840 feet should more than do the job ?                   Thanks for any help ,  (mathematically challenged ) daveB   ,,,,   any good heavy build  #22 wire for sale ? 		 	   		  _______________________________________________
