After an hour of number crunching I think I got it.
22 Gauge wire at 120 loops per layer with 20 layers, = 2,400 loops. 20 layers will give me .5 inch of copper surrounding the 2" iron core. 2,400 loops = 1,200 feet of wire @ 19 ohms. It would actually be more than 19 ohms because I was too lazy to take into account that core diameter increases with each added layer. So I would prob need roughly ~1500 feet of wire = 24 ohms.
How the hell can I possibly spin that?
Screw it maybe Ill just use 20 gauge wire and a resistor/ potentiometer/ PWM.
