Winding a 700 Turn coil for my sstc in a little over 7 min

[JaasterMareel]

while watching this (not all the 7 minutes) i was afraid you might cut your fingers with the wire. Didn't it hurt your fingers to do this?

besides- Good idea, Thumbs up!

[MrSuperjakk]

how the hell did u get the wire in that bottle

[johnnytheprick]

@MrSuperjakk

lololololololololo............­...no doubt he cut the bottom out and placed the bottle over the top of the coil spool. he woudlve done this so the wire fed through the top of the bottle.

[Costas17G]

I always wondered, since the wire is so tightly wound up and its sides are in contact with each other, why does it still act as a winding and not a straight, tube-shaped conductor?

[mahela1993]

Don't you burn your hands with the wire by doing that? Beautiful coil though!

[mahela1993]

Don't you burn your hands with the wire by doing that?

[ModzVonXyborg]

hey bro, now I make voicecoils for speakers, but normally i wrap it by hand, by chance can you spare me a blue print of how you make one of these jigs so can get the job done alot quicker?

Thanks

[Gibsonnroses]

What did i just watch???

[TheSupertecnology]

holy shit man! you´ve got 100v and it goes that slow?! hahahaha, it really makes me laugh hahahahaha. oh crap, i think i´ve just pee my pants.

[fuelban]

Good Video guy. well made winder, speeding the job up no end....

Thom in Scotland.

[exploshonz]

what gauge wire are you using?

[TeslaCommander]

@exploshonz 0.2mm, I dont know the gauge.

[LucifersDisciple6]

@exploshonz 35 gauge

[Everknowingeye]

You must have the thickest callous ever

[andrew09211]

whats the purpose for doing that?

[fabiuh991]

woow that sound hypnotised me

[sprogdiklis]

what do you use for coating

[chickenpoper]

You should put a micro controller in there with a small screen so you can program it so that it asks you how much turns you'd wish to have and the length of the cylinder and the width of the wire so it auto calculates everything so you can rest and watch it do it's work at very high rates (there will be a electronic arm on a motor to substitute as you hand and arduinos are like $80 so they aren't expensive

[sloppyoscar]

Very nice. I just made one from an old ID card printer. Question -- I know it takes practice but always seem to get a little separation between the wires in some spots. the separations are very narrow and are noticeable if you carefully inspect the coil with a magnifying glass. The coil looks firm and compact looking at it with plain eyesight held 1-2 feet away. Is that good enought for a AM band crystal radio?

[Akuma2a]

wow that nice winding

[Conquistador19]

Kind of amazing considering my first coil which had 600 turns took almost 2 hours to wind by hand... haha

[alfareifaldy]

how big the diameter of the magnet wire?

[martinzwanenburg]

ok! now put it in a box, and send it to me :)

[mkstrfx2b]

@Tesla Commander what is your channel?

[hristijank2]

your camera is sony dsc h55?

[NONSPAN]

where did you get the wire ?

[ericlepiq]

wash your floors they almost look like carpet

[TeslaCommander]

@ericlepiq That's becouse it is carpet.

[ninja6kid]

i want what you're smoking.

[tbirdpimp07]

just use a sewing machine motor and pedal would be easier to build lol prolly cheaper 2

[jayholley123]

where did u get the wire from plz tell me i need some thanxs :)

[HorizonDelta]

Good ! More tesla video: "Tesla cold electricity" by HorizonDelta

[supersport396]

it needs control pedal with variable speed...something like what a dremel would use...

[Yotunen]

thumbs up if it feels like watching a download progress bar to you

[LDaker1]

Doesn't that burn your fingers?

[Alex1M6]

And here is me stuck in the stone age spending well over 4 hours to wind a coil by HAND!

[MrFireworksfreak]

Nederlands accent lol

[awesomelightning]

wo.

[MrAncientalien]

we could start a camp fire with his fingers now. :>

[TAC19jm]

nice working!!!!!!!

[maddride]

fucking ouch thats hurting my fingers just watching, wear gloves dick head or it could slice your finger off! dumbass

[abebarker]

There are no spaces between your turns. Spacing them reduces self capacitance and increases the "Quality factor" of the coil (better resonance.) Tesla's latter coils where calculated so the diameter and spacing perfectly match the length and size of wire. Tricky!

[hardstyle905]

@abebarker Yea some people use wool (or plastic) cord alternating with the copper wire because of that. With a small coil like this though I don't think it makes much of a difference.

[Splooshiba]

when winding a coil, you slowly work from left to right, but if you wanted multiple layers would it be best to zip back over to the left and work left to right again, or slowly work from left to right, and then slowly back from right to left again?

sorry if this doesn't make sense :S

[TeslaCommander]

@Splooshiba for multiple layers it would be best to wind it left to right- right to left- left to right etc. But in this case for a teslacoil only one layer is needed ( multi layer is not even possible).

[Splooshiba]

@TeslaCommander my coil is for a coil gun, so multiple layers would really help to make a stronger field in a small space. thanks for the help! :)

[WilliamTapley]

@TeslaCommander Multi layer is possible. The layers should be connected in series and the bifilar effect will be greatly enhanced. Using your nail against the wire might rub off some of the insulating enamel...

[vengefulenigma]

@Splooshiba

doing it from left to right and then back towards left would have almost no effect, because magnetic field would "erase" itself (one layer would make the field go one way, second layer would make it go the opposite way)

[Splooshiba]

@vengefulenigma i initially read your comment and thought you were wrong, then right, but i now realise it depends entirely on how you interpreted my comment :P. i posted this comment nearly a year ago and after studying this more i understand the physics behind it, and therefore what to do. Thanks for answering tho :)

[vengefulenigma]

@Splooshiba

i saw it was a year ago but i answered anyway :P

i thought you meant if you wrap wire from left to right and second layer from right to left (so coil inside a coil)

[hunterziegelmann]

Why am i in my living room watching this near 12:50 P.M. ?

[Lysergesaure1]

Haha 6:00 I like the « still watching huh ? » :)

[Nordashi]

looks very nice

[shockflyyer3d]

fast forward

[picaticatara]

Your loading bar laggs.

[magicmachine1]

Hard Nails!!

[spinafire]

I don't know why, but I watched the whole video.

[renekenshin6573]

Tesla coils yeah its a beautiful piece of electronic art but i'm not confident on working with high voltages but i could find a nice use for that winding rig like winding antenna coils, am bandtrap coils etc.. well i'm more into receivers and transmitters anyways :D

[renekenshin6573]

Nice but whats the purpose of that coil your making? I'm thinking of making one just for the trouble of winding the coils for my crystal receiver lol

[TeslaCommander]

@renekenshin6573 It is for creating high voltage (tesla coil) you can see the coil in action if you go to my channel.

[vengefulenigma]

@TeslaCommander

Could you please tell me where you bought the wire?

I'm looking for it everywhere, searched whole town for shop with it, even online electronics shop and i also asked my proffesor where they get wires for school but i can't find this kind of wire anywhere...

[manoftnuva]

jewelier's works. Nice patience

[radumotisan]

very good, congrats! but put something on your fingers or you'll exfoliate all your skin

[PLOMBIR81]

каждому человеку за границу на рабочее место такой станок и пусть матают

[33Ratibor]

я бы без наворотов за несколько часов намотал бы, а если есть в планах еще катухи матать, то лучше конечно станочек!

[1204koba]

ну не дебилы а:

[KittyRokher]

soooo... does the wire just stay there or are you using glue or something?

[KileSimons]

is it cheating if I skipped 7 minutes?

[shidoink]

@KileSimons you mean like everyone that watched this

[activiafibras]

Nice coil, but when working with wires, you should ALWAYS work with gloves...

[bensonak47]

not really, i've been messing with wires for more than 8 years and never wore gloves LOL, haven't gotten shocked yet although you are right though safety first :D

[masterwolf1212]

No, he meant the fact that the wire may cut you (maybe only on softer skin)

[asianwong]

do you mean so you dont get shocked or so then the wires dont cut into your skin? im not sure if these wires are live

[KittyRokher]

only when the powers on lol. I mean, you SHOULD wear gloves, but its hard to wind wire with class 2 gloves that hardly let you move your fingers.

[Serostern]

@activiafibras Why? It's enameld and smooth as a baby's bum.

[weeardguy]

Ik krijg het idee dat de verlichting nogal interfereert met de camera...

[TeslaCommander]

Tja dat heb je met 50Hz TL-verlichting..

[sparkie21]

Yeh still watching, nice work!

[jupy921]

Nice job there man. Way to be creative. 5*

[justonething100]

i watched the whole thing lol

[Sh4n73c]

5:35

coil is pixel-straight (upwards)

o_O

[AccuracyMarked]

Hmmm...did you burn your fingers or wear out your nail...that must hurt?

[TeslaCommander]

Not at all actually, you may want to switch the place now and then where you are guiding the wire with your thumb. but heating up is no problem.

[Careica]

Man, how it can heat up be problem? If there is allways comming new cold cooperwire behind him from bobin?

[AccuracyMarked]

You must be very young...try this experiment....hold some thread between you fingers and let someone else pull the thread fast and steady.....it'll burn your skin, doesn't matter if the thread (or copper) is cold or not....it's call friction...constant friction. You must have been an only child or spent too much time on your computer...never had a serious friction burn from a rope.

[Cappeltje]

leuk tesla (ook een vonkentrekker )) maak is een hf cascade erachter met tv 20 diodes ;)

[Segadroid]

je engels is helemaal nie slecht, moet je m'n moeder eens hore!

[carot2003]

Looks good....

[WulfBand]

I haven't had this much fun watching a video in a long time :) lol

[inachu]

As a teen I made my own by hand. Afterwards I attached it to my 300 in 1 electronic project kit from radioshack then I accidently created a TV/FM jammer by accident. I originally wanted a AM transmitter but I was stunned when I pluggd in 13 volts and jammed everyone for half a mile HAHAHA! ahhh the good ole days. I just use a empty papertowel roll or toilet paper roll instead.

[airsoftdude102]

Could you put out a video on how to make one ?

[inachu]

I just did it by hand.

Make a few spins of wire on a empty papertowel roll then place tape over it so it stay in place then start turning it but by hand it takes forever. One paper towel roll took me 30 minutes or so.

[TCDIL95]

what guage wire are you using?

[TeslaCommander]

0.24mm, dunno what guage that is tho

[TCDIL95]

ah thats ok;)

[TheBypasser]

Nice winder! Bad idea of putting the wire in a bottle though, better put a metal rod or a long screwdriver through the plastic base and then put it all onto some box so the base will be able to spin, this way the wire will not twist nor it will touch the bottle neck and it's own form so it's insulation will never get damaged.

[zezimashock]

me asking this ( are you dutch)

[TeslaCommander]

helemaal correct;)

[zezimashock]

yyyyyyyeeeeeeeessssssss ik wist het.

[DraxDhampir]

hahaha, een nederlander met een tesla coil? Dat is echt geweldig ^^

[hbenders3356]

its a race between the coil progress and the video progress..........exciting...

[TCDIL95]

you make it look so easy.

[toomyg155]

Nice vid but won't your hand get brush burned from the wire?

[TeslaCommander]

no not really, it does start to irritate after a minute or so, but then i move the guiding spot between my fingers slightly and im good to go for another 60 sec.

[codemsan]

it wasnt boring, it was interesting to see a coil go so fast compared to hand-winding

[racerxdl]

Whoa! That is a very impressive coil winding machine! I will try to make one of that!

Very good work!
