Looking for needed information on how to designing a power spring.
What are the necessary dimensions required? Such as OD, ID Wire length, wire thickness, number of turns, input and output torque, pocket diameter.

Good morning Howard Stallard! Please see another response below from Garrett Derr:
A quick call to the fine folks at James Spring and Wire (610 644-3450) will help. There are a variety of spring configurations and what is needed is unique to each type.
FYI, the founder is the inventor of the Slinky spring toy.
