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 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
