Path: SCPro/ProActuators
% Design a minimum mass magnetic torquer.
You pass in the desired power, the voltage, wire gauge and dipole.
Type MagneticTorquerDesign for a demo.
It is possible that the selected parameters will not produce a
torquer coil. If so change the wire size or power consumption.
Default conductivity, relative permeability
and density are for copper and steel.
If your bar is too long, or the power too high you can get
torquer bars that have circumferences longer than the length of
one turn of wire. If that happens you will get an error.
If l is entered it designs the torquer based on that length.
