Hello John,

Mike Anerella had a brief discussion on this issue. Mike thinks with
no steel, there is minimal forces on the coils. But he fringe field in the
area could be the problem.
We were thinking that one can calculate the forces as well as the
fringe fields to see the severity. Of course, then related issue would be
the need for a high current power supply as well as quench protection.

Regards,
Yousef
