Author Topic: Winding / Coil Question (Read 11157 times)

poppy · « **on:** December 17, 2008, 06:27:38 PM »

I'm new to all this good stuff and am attempting to build a small bedini SSG.

I've seen lots of instructions on winding the coil but none of them mention if it matters if the wound coil is not perfectly parallel ?

I ask because im finding it really difficult to not overlap when making the coil.

thanks!

You don't need to wind it perfectly parallel. Some people use a layer of material between so it comes out flat, but I don't think it would make a large difference either way. I used sheets of certain paper between my layers and super-glued it together.

thanks for the reply, my coil is nowhere near as neat as yours. I've taken a picture of it. Is there any test I can do on it to determine its performace ?

thanks

oh and i forgot to ask. How in heck do i make solder stick top this enameled wire ? Somehow I need to strip off the enemal from the ends but i tried allsorts, including burning with a flame, and it still wont stick. The multimeter just reads open circuit when i measure the resistance so i cant be down to the wire ?

help!

I usually just carefully use a knife edge and scrape it down. You can also
use a piece of fine sand paper as well. Has worked well for me.

HI Poppy yes you can use a sand paper and then twist the wires together and solder them when you're joining wires.
Wish you good work.

Hey Poppy,

U need to wind it properly, the tighter your coil is the better. Use a drill with variable speed and mount your spool onto it and carefully feed in your wire. Remeber u need bifillar so wind two wires onto the spool.

Check this out, I uploaded an instructional video today. You'll need to know how many turns you've put onto the spool too. Bedini calls for a certain number of turns. On the video I show u how to make a machine that counts the turns.

Hope this helped.

Question for those who know? How do I test the ohm resistance in the coil? I'm new to circuits I know it might be a simple answer but I dunno. I'll figure it out soon and post if I don't get an answer.

You may find this tutorial very helpful:

On the subject of the coil, for best effect, I am pretty sure that the coil should be short and
squat rather than long. This came out of the UK Free Energy Conference in the Autumn.

dodoshlodo I find your audio totally unintelligible. I just hear music and a very faint voice.
Anyone else have that problem? Im running an Audiophile 2496 into my mackie mixer so there shouldn't be a problem with it.

Use a multimeter. Connect the leads to each end of the coil wire and turn the meter dial to 200 in the ohm section.

Don't forget that this is the resistance to direct voltage - a battery. If this ends up
as part of a circuit involving alternating current, household mains electricity, it will be
different

dont know if youve found this out yet, but the best way to make solder adhere to you coil is to hold a bead of solder on the end of your wire for about 10 seconds or less (depending on the temp of your iron) that will melt off the coating and flow onto the suface of the wire. after that, soldering the wire is easy because your coil wire is tinned.

I can't thank you enough, I found a way of testing them on my own, but I didn't know what setting the multimeter was suppose to be on.
