Re: [TCML] aluminum magnet wire



BOTTOM LINE:
AL will reduce the "Q Factor" (Xs / Rs) by the ratio of 40.81/67.0, or
0.609. This is a 39% decrease in Q. This leads to a 39% decrease in peak
voltage."

Only true for the case where there is no streamer loading - suspect the difference in performance would be negligible. I'll bet that few coils are really limited by secondary resistance because the loaded Q is so much less than the unloaded Q.
