hey love your work, does it matter which direction you wind?

[Lidmotor]

@kdkinen -----I wind this coil clockwise. I don't think that it matters which way in this situation.

[WilliamTapley]

@Lidmotor It always matters which way the coil is wound.

[Lidmotor]

@WilliamTapley ---No not in this case. Just turn the coil around when you are done if the poles are not right. One end will be north and one will be south. Use whichever one you need.

@Lidmotor It does always matter. Sometimes more than others. It does affect the efficiency of the coil. If you wrap the coil going in one direction in layers and then connect the ends up in series, then you will notice a neat effect. Toroid coils avoid this completely because of the continuous loop, and are extremely efficient. If the flux is all moving in the same direction, the efficiency goes up by a substantial amount. Just look at Tesla coils :)

@WilliamTapley -----Thsi is just a simple bifilar wound electromagnet. It does not matter which way that you wind it. It will work. If the poles are wrong on it then you simply turn it around. The coils that you refer to have no bearing on this coil which is made for this specific device. Study up on Bedini SSG monopole.

@Lidmotor You should study up on Tesla's work to better understand magnetic flux and how to make full use of it. It does matter how the coil is wound all the time, maybe in this case just not as much.
