What we need is for someone to measure the width of the Magnepan foil, or the resistance of a known length, because per Wendell we should use the same foil width Magnepan found worked best in their R&D effort. This will require some kind of series/parallel arrangement to get the impedance right. But we won't know what that will be until we have some measurements.
