Art, what's a form factor and who's Terman.

Someone sed:

"Art, what's a form factor and who's Terman."

That's a joke Right?

NOT!
If Reg didn't have a tea with him, he is nobody :-)

JDer,
This whole thing is a joke.

Reg, he was a peron who also had your idea ( or maybe it was Heaviside's) of
winding coils on as large a diameter as possible until losses were a matter
of minimum return. By experimentation he came up with desirable' form
factors ' that related to number of turns wound in relationship to the form
diameter upon which the coils were wound,
Unfortunately I cannot find what his criteria was for his descisiion that a
pancake design could not meet.
I am winding a pancake coil at the present time wound
basket weave style on a wheel spoke basis using corrugated hardline with
which to experiment with respect to my antenna coupling design.,
Terman was an American academic who substantiated a lot of his work by
experimentation. Iin other words he was a do'er as well as a talker who
dealt with facts rather than supporting himself with inuendo if you get my
drift.
Cheers
Art

What! He didn't use the calculus of variations? What kind of an
academic was he? I've got a question for you, Art. How would
you set up an experiment that would solve the brachystochrone
problem? Or, if that's too hard, how would you set up an
experiment to tell you which, of all plane figures of equal
perimeters, would give you the most enclosed area?
After you've told me that, then you can tell me how I can
set up an experiment that will tell me what coil configuration
I can use that will give me the most inductance with the least
amount of loss.

Richard, don't do that while I am drinking coffee, it burns like hell when
it comes out your nose! :)

Richard,
I think you'd probably have to round off the corners. Don't
you?
