% Design a minimum mass magnetic torquer. You pass in the desired power, the voltage, wire gauge and dipole. Type MagneticTorquerDesign for a demo. It is possible that the selected parameters will not produce a torquer coil. If so change the wire size or power consumption. Default conductivity, relative permeability and density are for copper and steel. If l is entered it designs the torquer based on that length.
