Homemade Coil Winding Jig

[alisamerflorin]

i have one design of my own ,i am using an power supply from an computer to get 12V and i have an motor from a battery power drill machine ,and an PWM controller ..i have place the pwm potentiometer on my chair 's leg ..so i can operate it with the leg ... here ..take a look ...

[alisamerflorin]

nice,but ...counting is not a good idea ,you can do it with an electronic calculator for pocket ...you take an magnet and place it on the well and you can place the magnet into the eccentric place and an reed relay has to stand in the magnet's way ..so at every turn the reed relay is gonna put to wires together ...wires that comes from the equal key from calculator ,and when you want to count you start the calculator and do 1+ and then rotate the weel and coil and the calculator is gonna count

[damionblack123]

what kind of drill did you use great idea

[normellow]

Gangster !!!

[gearboy12550]

Is 22 ga. wire the standard size used for making tattoo machine coils? Could you use 18 or maybe stripped CAT 5, & will it affect the way it works? Oh hell they make the things out of tape recorders, pens & guitar strings in prison, right? I'm sure you could make it work.

[dougspair]

@gearboy12550 ..for tattoos...Chuck Norris uses a hammer and sharpened screwdriver...

[NADINEHOTROKS]

hey man can you make me one of these contact me at dmjplumbing@aol.com

[sergio29552]

hey bro can you tell me were to get the plastic spools that you use in the proces cus a bin looking for those but I dont know were to look at please can you tell me were to found it

[Headshothorror4488]

I want 10 wrap coils. What wire do i buy (exact name) ? And cores ?

[hexlorddamech]

wow nc work you got there thumbs up by the way can i make a copy of that machine design you made and ill buy the parts

pls put all the details and some instructions so that i can follow....thk again and nc job....

[mukerjea]

excellent idea. Thank you very much for sharing.

[kissmedick]

call me fucking stupid but for some reason im thinking its overkill and have the thought of a fishing reel in my head?

[Catvore]

Schematics please!

[edd2969]

excellent! thumbs !

[Mephysto65]

Great job! Just a doubt: how do you avoid wire overlapping across the length during wiring motion?

[coolramone]

Did u say 22 0 gauge wire or what? T/Y

[MrTXWolfie]

I really like your design just gotta get off my butt to make it. Could of even used a light dimmer switch in place of the pedal ... on/off and turn it to the right speed .... just a thought that popped in my head while watching the video.

[seasonedtoker]

brilliant video! I will probably implement a small AC motor from a drill sharpener. but thank you for sharing your design, I hope you don't mind me copying it ;) cheers mate

[Hallaran]

Great creation!

[Dresden0010]

I'm searching for a voice-coil winding thingamajig. This is inspiring in it's simplicity (and return on value). I'm definitely refering to this when I desing my voice-coil winding aparatus.

[punkrob13]

homie you are the shit good job

[626machweld]

Respond to this video... smart man . you are like me .simple and efficient.

[offgrid2010]

Everyone wants to make it more complicated. It does what you need so it's perfect. If there is not an extra drill laying around you can buy a straight or right angle manual choke. I guess you could use a flush mount bearing or other attachment to the board instead of a drill head. Harbor Freight has the chokes. Great job sir.

[271828183141592654]

Great!

[badkooslovakia]

nice



[mccunecp]

thats pretty cool it realy is. now you just need to set it up to were if you want 27 windings you set it and push button and it stop at 27 cool either way it goes I have to build somethign like that if I want to start building or rewinding generatiors if I need to

[melricasata]

I used a lap counter same as yours but in high-speed, the counter doesnt work. It stays at the same count.

[cuddledress]

@melricasata theres another idea, you could get a circuit for a 4 didgit pulse counter and use a hall effect switch to trigger the revolutions. all you would need is a magnet on the wheel.

[camatt2989]

a bike odomitor would work but you would need a more steady power source to have a steady rpm

[renekenshin6573]

Genius nice rig but the counter is a bit noisy maybe you could incorporate a digital counter instead that runs on battery well only my opinion

[79chemdog]

very creative good job.

[deepcut71]

excellent ! thanks :)

[215alessio]

nice machine you made, thanks for sharing it. Nice video!

[vespacurry]

Brilliant

[deaftodd]

i think you need a counter weight to balance out your cam

[nixnikunj]

Really a smart work there... (Creativity with full of common sense) Thank you for sharing you knowledge.

[Whammo1963]

I don't see how you are distributing the wire uniformly side to side on the coil...

[mfazil34]

by using a piece of wodden or plastic stick of course...

[heartestbeat2]

yes please explain

[TheDullahan]

@Whammo1963 Because the wire is cylindrical, it naturally will not pile upon itself. If the two spools are kept at the correct distance, the wire will naturally slide over itself and go back and forth evenly on the new spool.

[bait28]

@Whammo1963 tension on the spool will cause the garden hose effect and it should wind even.

[umery2k75]

@Stonefisk

What a brain you got. I had shared this story with many people, but none had answered in the way you have.I'm totally impressed, I never thought about that part of the story. Awesome.

[umery2k75]

Great work man......

This reminds me of a joke. One day NASA decided to send their man at the space for the first time. They had a problem as how they would write in space, as PEN won't work, because of zero gravity. So they spend like months in desigining a PEN costing a million dollar, that would be able to work in space and thus people can write.. During the presentation of this PEN, a kid comes from the crowd and lend him a pencil. He said, why don't you just take pencil with yourself.

[peterm3964]

Yeah and chinese reentry nosecones are made of OAK . we spent millions inventing teflon . !! HA HA

[stonefisk]

Which is one of the biggest urban myths of all time. When the pencil 'lead' breaks you have an almost impossible to find, highly conductive piece of carbon floating a space craft ready to short circuit vital electronics.

[pkrska]

And so off to space went the spaceman. Upon wanting to write something, he pushed down on the pencil and started to write. The pencil tip broke due to the pressure. Darn said the spaceman, I don't have a knife to widdle down the wood. He got so angry he slammed his fist down and cut his finger. He continued to write using his blood!!!!

[xialong123]

@umery2k75 HAH! il have to remember that one....

[electroncraz91]

Nice setup, i like the sewing machine motor with the hand free pedal and the lap counter! :D

[ian25oconnor]

My tired hands Thank You!!!

Thanks Again!!!

[loonymajic]

Nice piece of engineering

[GriffndorK]

OH My gosh, now I can't believe I wound my 32" x 4" secondary by hand...

[TheLightningStalker]

The lap counter thing is pretty clever.

[factorargento]

Good machine!

[PurksWorld]

i suck at all those science things (most of them) but this may be sound stupid but what can you make with coils? can someone give me a bit more info plz? thank you! i would really appreceate that!

[brundontfreeze000]

transformers and guitar pickups.. and among of other things

[lovesilencenow]

coils when energized with power (DC OR AC) create a magnetic field. Its is used for High voltage power supplies or power generation from the vacuumm without any use for fuel. They are also used to turn on and off power where high current is required, such as your car starter, or your head light and heater motor in the car. The alarm or the door bell, speakers. These are used for pulsed motors and Tesla coils. Check out bedini motor. there are thousands of applications. google Electro magnets.

[umery2k75]

You can make electromagnets. You can make Audio Speaker coil with them. You can use them in your electronic circuits, accroding to your application. You use them in your Cars, these are used by spark plugs in cars.. Coils are used in electric motors.What ever you want to ask, feel free to ask me, friend. I would really like to help those, who are having difficulty :)

[andytysn]

nice work!!

[MonkeyFCoconut]

Sweet winder man! Do you have any problems with overcoming the tensile strength of the wire from the feed spool? ..err, any wire breakage?? LOL.

[BasementBen]

Can it be done with bifiliar, or trifiliar?

Thanks.

[SYDUB]

how do you do to reel from one side to the other.

Do you proceed only by hand?

Thank you.

[Kntryhart]

Excellent idea and nicely assembled! I will need to make a copy of your design...maybe this weekend! :-))

[Truthbeeknown]

Thanks... it works quite well. What took me about an hour now takes five or then minutes.

[Kntryhart]

What is the belt? Where did you get that? Have all the other parts. Thanks!

[Truthbeeknown]

The belt is actually a large "O"-ring.

[bbcisrubbish]

@Kntryhart. I have some drive belts which come in 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4" diameters in metre lengths.

Cut required length, hold the ends together and pull over a heated knife blade.

This melts and welds it into a circle. Leave to cool and solidify. I use mine on a small lathe and other odd and end tools.

[Yetzederixx]

@Kntryhart Chances are you can use a belt found at any hardware/automotive store. If you have a place that sells lawncare devices they probably have shorter belts based on your needs.

[jphdg]

Nice job there.  Well done.

[Truthbeeknown]

Thank you.

[sn1pe352]

lol that's so ghetto

yet so good..lol keep up the good job

[Truthbeeknown]

Thanks.. I think.. lol.

[generatorblue]

I will be using a sewing machine motor for my winder as well. Thank you for showing your machine. I have turned bicycle wheels into turbines and generators. Now I must put it all together. I need a coil winder for sure.

[Truthbeeknown]

You are welcome. Glad this was of use for you.
