Design References Solenoid

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the relevance of 1960s solenoid design principles in modern applications. Participants are seeking canonical references for solenoid design, including core materials and geometry. There is a debate on whether advancements in technology and materials science have significantly altered solenoid design since the 1960s. Some argue that the fundamental principles of electromagnetism remain unchanged, while others suggest that new developments may necessitate updated approaches. The conversation highlights the need for contemporary resources to bridge the gap between historical knowledge and current practices.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some references on solenoid design - core materials, geometry, etc etc etc. Can anyone suggest me some canonical references that I should check out? All the books I've found are from the 60s or so.

Thanks!

Why do you think things have changed that much since the 1960's? E&M is still E&M.

Thread 'Light speedup question'

If light travels in a wave, couldn't we "speed it up" by making it travel in a straight line?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
