Dear Sirs,
I was asked to design a Helmholtz coil. Being an electronic engineer, I can design electronic circuits but I have no idea about designing Helmholtz coils. Can you help me by suggesting a paper or article that describes a straightforward, step-by-step method for designing these coils? I tried Google but I was lost in about 22000 results.
Thank you.

A google search turned up this master's thesis on the design and construction of Helmholtz coils:
http://edt.missouri.edu/Summer2008/Thesis/GyawaliS-072108-T11505/research.pdf
In particular, Chapter 4 looks like it may be useful for you.

Instead of googling "Helmholtz coil", you could be a little more specific by googling the following:

Thread 'Mechanism of Energy Conservation in Zero-Amplitude Sum of EM Waveforms'

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
