Ferromagnetic wire electromagnetic actuator

An electromagnetic ferromagnetic wire actuator comprising:

• a case, said case being fabricated of a ferromagnetic material and defining a central axis;
• a core, said core being disposed coaxial with said central axis, and being in slideable engagement within said case, said core further having a first end portion, a second end portion, a central portion, and an outer wall;
• at least one magnetic flux developing element mounted coaxial with said central axis;
• and
• a first and a second electrical current conductor coil disposed intermediate said case and said core, said first coil being mounted in a facing relationship with said first end portion of said core and said second coil being mounted in a facing relationship with said second end portion of said core, said coils being fabricated from a ferromagnetic material and being coaxial with said central axis, wherein said coil has a cross-sectional area and a width of insulating space between the turns of the coil in a direction parallel to the central axis, said area and width values being selected such that the reluctance of the width of the insulating space is greater than the reluctance of the cross-sectional area of the coil wire adjacent the insulating space.
