    Electromagnet coil core to yoke ratio?

    I'm building pairs of coils with standard core heights and diameters and linking each pair with a yoke. The magnets all run at 6V DC with windings of 24 AWG magnet wire in 6/8/10 layers. Is there a ratio of coil core mass to yoke mass for maximum efficiency? (shown below)

    How to Model an Isothermal Core in a Simplified Star?

    Homework Statement Let’s make an idealized star model with two parts: an isothermal helium core, and pure hydrogen layers outside the core. The core represents the part where hydrogen has already been burned. Mathematically this represents the simplest model that might resemble a...

    What are the cooling requirements for a gas core reactor?

    If we were able to build a gas core reactor, how much heat would need to be dissapated? I bring this up because traditional solid core reactors require lots of heat to be pumped away (do you know the exact number?) to keep the core for melting, but since a gas core is already much hotter...

    Using a magnetic core for an electromagnet

    Hi, I would like to know what would happen if you used a permanent magnet for the core of an electromagnet, instead of the standard ferromagnetic core? Can you increase the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet by putting current through the coil? Also, could you effectively...

    Can Ferromagnetism Be Proven in Trapped Air?

    Is it possible to saturate an air core? Would you have to trap the air for this to work. Are domains a meaningless concept in a fluid, even if it's trapped? (i.e. it can still circulate in it's 'prison').

    Is a Core Temperature of 3.14*(10^7) K Feasible for a 50 Solar Mass Star?

    I'm wondering how realistic it is for a 50 solar mass star to have a core temperature of 3.14*(10^7) K. This isn't much greater than the core temperature of the sun, which is 1.5*(10^7) K. Have I made some huge miscalculation, or does this seem feasible? Thanks.

    Problem with air core transformer

    I have two inductors, one as a primary and the other as the secondary. I am trying to transfer the radio signal from the primary inductor to the secondary inductor. But I am getting no signal on the secondary inductor. The radio signal is a voltage signal with very little current. The inductors...

    Calculating wire lenght for an air core inductor

    I would like to build an air coil that will create a flux field, which will in turn induce a closed loop coil, that results in an equal and opposite force. The power source is an array of PV cells hooked up in series or parallel which ever will give the air coil the greatest/strongest magnetic...

    The pressures at the center of a nuke are greater than in the earth's core?

    Wikipedia has an Ivy Mike level nuke at 530 TPa, and the core pressure is at 380 GPa. That's a factor of over 1000 times. I'm wondering whether these are exactly comparable, since the pressure at the core is constant, whereas in a nuke, it's relatively brief. A multi walled carbon nanotube...

    Using PV cells to energize an air core coil

    I'm using PV cells to energize an air core coil. Is there a method in which I can determine the maximum length of 32 gauge magnetic wire to use, so that I don't use too few windings and burn the coil out or too many windings limiting its' potential. I'll be using 2 PV cells that are each rated...
