Re: A figure of merit



Hi Ken

I find your proposition interesting, I'm always interested by solid state
coil they are a bit to technical for my knowledge but I dream to built one
maybe with a pair of IGBT.

Maybe I'm wrong but on your scale you only take in count the volt not the
ampere all the scale I saw are length/watt .If you input 160V at 10mA or
160V at 10A I think the result wouldn't be the same.

Correct me if I'm wrong please.
