1. An inductor device comprising:
an inner ring, the inner ring comprising a complete inner circular shape;
an outer ring forming an outer perimeter concentrically around the inner ring, the outer ring comprising a complete outer circular shape; and
a plurality of spokes extending radially from the inner ring to the outer ring, each of the plurality of spokes secured to the inner ring at a first end and secured to the outer ring at a second end,
wherein the plurality of spokes provides a respective plurality of parallel electrical paths between the inner ring and the outer ring,
wherein the plurality of spokes provides an electrical resistance and a stable electrical inductance based at least in part on a number of spokes in the plurality of spokes,
wherein the electrical resistance and the stable electrical inductance decreases as the number of spokes in the plurality of spokes increases.
