Abstract:
1. A linear electromagnetic device, comprising: a core in which a magnetic flux is generable; an opening through the core, wherein the opening through the core comprises an elongated slot; and a plurality of primary conductors received in the opening and extending through the core, each primary conductor including a substantially square or rectangular cross-section and are each disposed directly adjacent one another in a single row in the elongated slot, the elongated slot comprising two elongated side walls connected at each end by an end wall, each primary conductor including a predetermined width in a direction corresponding to the elongated side walls and each end primary conductor being less than about one half of the predetermined width from a respective one of the side walls, wherein only the primary conductors and no other conductors extend through the elongated slot in the core and wherein an electrical current flowing in one direction through the primary conductors generates a magnetic field about the primary conductors, substantially the entire magnetic field being absorbed by the core to generate the magnetic flux in the core.
