We describe the process of designing and analyzing two body gradient coils with and without PNS optimization suitable for prototype construction and experimental validation. The optimized coil achieves a 51% increase in PNS thresholds at a 15% inductance penalty. Both coils are construction-ready (single continuous wire path) and have realistic and matched design characteristics (actively shielded, torque/force balanced, high field linearity in 40 cm ROL). We are in the process of constructing coil prototypes, with the ultimate goal of experimentally validating their PNS differences.
