[TCML] inductance Vs diameter Vs height

[Scott Bogard <sdbogard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
	Off the top of your heads can anybody tell me the most efficient 
surface area to inductance ratio of single winding solenoids?  What I 
mean is the most efficient surface area to volume ratio for cylinders is 
1 to 1 diameter to height, I am wondering if this applies to inductors 
also, or if a single turn of huge diameter is better, or perhaps zero 
diameter and infinite turns or somewhere in between.  So for a given 
wire length, what configuration yields the highest inductance for single 
layer I guess is what I am asking, just curious and thought someone 
might know a short answer, and have any thoughts as to if this could 
apply to coiling in any way.

Scott Bogard.
