	American AntiGravity - Corona and Wire Information
		The bright purple glow of the corona from the 30-gauge copper wire was captured using a 1-second shutter exposure.
		The flame is drawn towards the 30-gauge collector wire when power is applied partially through an aerodynamic push from ions travelling from the emitter to the collector, but also because the flame is a mixture of combustion-gasses and gas-plasma that picks up and carries charges in the air-gap to the collector.
		You may be able to purchase 50-gauge stainless wire from American Antigravity in the near future.

	American wire gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the "Brown and Sharpe" wire gauge, is used in the United States and other countries as a standard method of denoting wire diameter, especially for nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.
		This seemingly-counterintuitive numbering is derived from the fact that the gauge number is related to the number of drawing operations that must be used to produce a given gauge of wire; very fine wire (for example, 30 gauge) requires far more passes through the drawing dies than does 0 gauge wire.
		A circular mil is the area of a wire one mil in diameter.

	Wire gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wire gauge is a measurement of how large a wire is, either in diameter or cross-sectional area.
		Wire gauge is therefore applicable to both electrical and non-electrical wires, thus it is important to electrical wiring and to structural cable.
		In commerce, the sizes of wire are estimated by gauges which consist of plates of circular or oblong form having notches of different widths round their edges to receive wire and sheet metals of different thicknesses.

	American Wire Gauge - Microwave Encyclopedia - Microwaves101.com
		Here's some AWG trivia: the AWG scale was once called the Brown and Sharpe (BandS) wire gauge.
		The AWG system is a geometrical progression where each larger size has 26% more area than the previous size.
		The values are for insulated wire, you can achieve higher current levels if you use bare wire, just don't kill yourself.

	Wire Gauge Tables
		American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes may be determined by measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed.
		When choosing wire gauge, the distance the wire must run and the amperage it will be expected to carry must be determined first.
		Find the amperes or watts the circuit is expected to carry on the left and the distance the wiring must run at the top - follow the columns until they intersect - for example, a 12 volt circuit which is 15 feet long and carries 10 amperes should use at least 16 gauge wire.

	SWG
		As the wire gauge number increases, the diameter of the wire decreases.
		Other common gauges are: awg American Wire Gauge B&S Brown & Sharpe These are not rational or helpful units and it is probably better to specify the wire diameter in inches if you want to get the right wire.
		Gauge 1 has a diameter of 0.300 inches in swg and 0.289297 in awg or B&S. Gauge 10 has a diameter of 0.1280 inches in swg and 0.1019 in awg or B&S. And yes, as the gauge increases, the diameter of the wire decreases.

	A Compass DeRose Guide by Steven J. DeRose
		Wire diameters are expressed on a numbered scale called "AWG", with larger numbers meaning smaller wire.
		A change of 3 gauge numbers (say, from 15 to 12 gauge) amounts to doubling the cross-sectional area of the wire.
		"cable current" applies when the wire is in a multiple conductor cable, and varies (among other things) with the thermal conductivity of whatever insulation is used.

		The Birmingham Wire Gauge [BWG] is used for steel armor wire.

	Data Tables for Solid Round Wire
		Wire diameter can be calculated directly without using a lookup table with a simple exponential formula fit to the wire diameters at two gauges.
		Magnet wire insulation seems to run from 0.0005" to 0.001" thickness, so in many cases you can estimate a wire's gauge number with the insulation on.
		A good way to get started looking at different wire gauges is to buy the assortment carried by Radio Shack under their catalog number #278-1345 which contains spools of 22 ga., 26 ga., and 30 ga. enameled magnet wire.

		The higher the number the thinner the wire.
		Thicker wire is generally capable of carrying larger amount of current over greater distances with less loss (though there are other things that cause current loss in wire).
		Sometimes the loss of cables is rated in Ohms per one thousand feet and for a particular type of wire the lower gauges (larger wires) have less resistance to current flow.

	What is American Wire Gauge? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: AWG, wire gauges
		Since thicker wire carries more current because it has less electrical resistance over a given length, thicker wire is better for longer distances.
		For this reason, where extended distance is critical, a company installing a network might prefer telephone wire with the lower-gauge, thicker wire of AWG 24 to AWG 26.
		AWG is sometimes known as Brown and Sharpe (BandS) Wire Gauge.

	American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits
		For the 00, 000, 0000 etc. gauges you use -1, -2, -3, which makes more sense mathematically than "double nought." This means that in American wire gage every 6 gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter, and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area.
		Metric Gauge: In the Metric Gauge scale, the gauge is 10 times the diameter in millimeters, so a 50 gauge metric wire would be 5 mm in diameter.
		Note that in AWG the diameter goes up as the gauge goes down, but for metric gauges it is the opposite.

	American Wire Gauge
		The American Wire Gauge (AWG) is used in North America to specify copper wire sizes.
		The AWG scale is counterintuitive, because smaller gauges have large diameters.
		The reason is that AWG numbers specify the number of times wire has been drawn through a diameter reducing machine to reduce its diameter.
