Computer Simulation of Wireless Induction?

AI Thread Summary
Software for simulating magnetic induction is essential for analyzing the impact of distance and winding numbers on transfer efficiency between coils. Users recommend finite element method (FEM) software as the industry standard for electromagnetics simulations. While Maxwell's student version is no longer available, alternatives can be found on Wikipedia's list of finite element software packages. Programs like Tina and Simulink are limited to ideal transformers and do not account for real-world flux losses. Recommendations for specific FEM software were requested to aid in the research.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of software that would allow me to simulate magnetic induction.

I'm researching into the effects distance and the number of windings has on the effect of transfer efficiency between two coils.

I've seen lots of people mention Maxwell, but they seem to have discontinued their student version. I've used programs such as Tina and Simulink, but they only seem to let me do an ideal transformer, and presumably (i'm an engineer not a physicist :-/) there will be lot of flux lost through the air transfer, hence the use of an Iron Core.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

AJ

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
