I wanna make a 1H (I know, it’s big) inductor for use at 60Hz with an equivalent series resistance of no more than 50ohms and that’s capable of handling 5W dissipation without overheating using only common household materials for a core (like nails and bolts and screws and stuff). How should I do it? How much wire will I need? What AWG should the wire be? I’d preferably like a design with a minimum number of turns because I’m lazy.
