AirCoreMagneticTorquerDesign:

Path: SCPro/ProActuators

% Design a minimum mass air core magnetic torquer.
   You pass in the dipole, wire physical parameters and wire dimensions. 
   It minimizes the weighted cost:

   cost = alpha*mass + power

   The voltage is determined by the dimensions, resistivity and dipole.
   As an alternative you can input the voltage and it will return the
   dipole.

   Type AirCoreMagneticTorquerDesign for a demo using copper wire.

   Since version 11.
