Engineers no longer designing with magnetics

Not surprising since the cost is at least $42,990 per Tesla.


John Larkin's aversion dates back to before you could buy a Tesla. I think the problem is that text-books do a miserable job of telling you how to design with magnetics.

They keep on setting people on the wrong path with misleading concepts like leakage inductance, which makes an already tricky area even harder to get your head around.

Anyway isn't the car named for the inventor rather than the unit of magnetic flux density? Nikola Tesla did come first.

That's only about $4 per Gauss.
