Wire strength

[RoadManDenDron]

Sorry I've tried the search box and G**gle but got nowhere

Someone posted a real useful table comparing doubling up wire compared to going up .5mm

I obviously forgot to bookmark it, I would really appreciate if someone who did could share a link please?

Thank you!

Wouldn't you know it this site recommended the thread below that the search couldn't find haha

Thanks anyway guys!

The bigger question is going to be... aluminum versus copper

Diving back into my math days, and assuming the strength of the wire is a function of the cross-sectional area of the wire...

πr² = cross sectional area of a wire, so the comparable strength will be equal to the square of the radius of the wire... So a wire that is 10mm in diameter will be 4 times as strong as a 5 mm wire. In other words, the ratio of the wire thickness, squared
