Re: electromagnetic solenoid

So maybe it's just because I'm a theoretical physics guy, but a "solenoid" to me is an electromagnet -- and I have always presumed that they are illegal because of this.

However, I hear tell that some teams have used electromagnets in the past...

Given that we have an application that might benefit greatly from an electromagnet, and that we have a new mentor with a winder that can make us electromagnets, I must ask:

Is the "electromagnetic solenoid" an engineering term for a device that incorporates, but is more than, an electromagnet?

And if so, are electromagnets thus legal?
