Calculating Force for Tattoo Machine Solenoids

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on redesigning solenoids for tattoo machines and seeks a formula to calculate the force exerted by the solenoid on the armature. Key variables such as flux density and air gap length are identified as known factors in the calculation. Participants are encouraged to share any relevant formulas or methods to relate these variables to the force produced. The conversation aims to provide practical solutions for optimizing tattoo machine performance. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of accurate calculations in solenoid design for tattoo machines.

I'm currently in the process of redesigning the solenoids for a tattoo machine company. I was wondering if anybody was aware of a formula to find the amount of force that the solenoid would draw the armature. I can figure out just about every variable that I think I'd need: flux density, air gap length etc. I just need some way to relate that to the amount of force it would create.
Thanks everyone.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
