Hi DanB
I asked this ? a while back. I thought i could get more copper in a coil of the same phizical size it i used smaller ga. wire.

Then the group consencis was. Big wire , small wire the copper amount would be the same. I thought I could squeez more wire in with the small stuf and perelell the coils rather than siries? DA-NO?

I think it should be the same either way... except for the thickness of the xtra insulation on the smaller wire. In this case - I had to do it, because the thought of winding a coil like this with something between AWG 9 and AWG 10 wire seems daunting - and Im certain Id have had some eddy current losses in the thick wire.
