Re: Solid core inductance
You've asked a good question. And it is understandable that you are having difficulty finding guidance on inductor design.
An answer will require a little more information. To begin, what voltage and frequency do you plan to apply to this inductor? Was the transformer from the old power supply operated at the same frequency? What are the dimensions of the transformer core? Do you know what the core is made of?
And how will the coil gun work?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
