That's only true if you put them in parallel and there is NO mutual
inductance - you'll have plenty since they'll be wound on top of each
other. The required current will be X times higher too. Is the Y axis
really that different than the X one? I mean really? In a TV they are
wound differently because they take very different signals. Can't the
Y axis be wound similar to X?? Or is it a coil placement issue?

27 inch or bigger. If you're going to do a project of that scale, we may
as well get something great out of it. How about 36 inch? Or better yet
do it with lasers... Oops I'm getting carried away again.
