Any idea how to estimate the gauge? I know I'd need red and green
enameled,
Do you have/can you borrow a micrometer? There is a prototyping system, made by a company
called 'road runner'
that uses fine enammeled wire. I think it's 30swg or something like that.
Is this like Augat Unilayer?
How much oomph
would it take to induce a stable magnetic pattern in a
steel nut?!?
Anyone with a EE degree and a copy of Spice care to take a stab at it?
Or alternatively do it properly and _build_ the darn thing :-).

I wager teh wire used in the core is finer than #30, my bet is #40.

Skip all the fancy sillyness. All I need is s pulse generator that can
generate fast bidirectional pulses with currents to 1-2A and a scope.
from that I can tell what current saturates the core
and what it's switch
thresholds are. actually a power supply abnd resistor and
a switch will
do for the pulse generator, though it's more manual. the rest is easy.
The array will have to be tuned once built anyway but knowing what the X
and Y currents have to add to +/- 10% is enough to get it going. The
inhibit current will be the mirror of the half select current.
Oh, the same rig will be a good apprasial of the figure of merit for the
core.
