Calculating resistance for aliens

[STX]

I’m curious as to how one would go about inputting alien coils into a coil calculator. It wouldn’t be the same as claptons right, because isn’t there more wire wrapping the cores? I use wire wizard, but are there other calculators that you can select aliens or is there a trick to inputting them. Just let me know please, Thanks!!!

It's the same as a 3 core Clapton.

I've made thousands of alien coils (literally - I used to own a custom coil company called PureCoils), and this configuration was ALWAYS spot on at 0.50Ω each, and 0.25Ω for a pair.

Thank you so much for clearing this up for me Chef, I greatly appreciate it! Now I can input some different wire types and gauges so I know which ones to buy. I obviously won't be starting with aliens but plan to get there eventually. Thanks again!!!

Shouldn't affect resistance the wrap wire doesn't really affect resistance that much, it heats up from being in contact with the core wires. I'm pretty sure is how that works
