In a Starship coil, a perfect sine wave is produced with one magnet passed over the top or bottom. A Starship coil is not a coil at all, it's a Straight Line Inductor, and its magnetic pick up field is just in the vortex, no other place. This does not change when a core is introduced. If you have a 1" magnet, you will need a Starship coil with a vortex 2.3 times that size for max. voltage generation.
Hi, thanks for the great addition and also for taking away confusion about these inductors.
At the time I am looking for a coil and magnet setup where all of the wire gets induced in order to eliminate excess resistance that will stop the currents from flowing.
The starship does have that excess wire so I decided that I don't want to use it for the new coming motor experiments.
Don't worry, earlier on I already found it is a great option!
