Your chart was very informative. Up until now the only thing I had to go by was an article in an obscure newsletter which stated:
(gauge 1 + gauge 2 )÷ 2=gauge total -3. Here's an example for people who don't like word problems.29+30=59 ,59÷2=29.5 ,29.5-3=26.5awg.
When I started doing this you had a choice between white dot, red dot, or ( if you were really good at begging) yellow dot magnets. If I'm not mistaken, which I often am, usually only when I open my mouth, the only difference was the length. With the Advent of ceramics and other materials, is there a ratio between the Gauss of the magnets and the gauge of the wire? Seems simple enough, but then again, so does boundary layer physics until you just jump into it headfirst. Any ideas?
