Coils, Winder and Questions

Here's a quick look at the coil winder I made a while back and a few coils. I also have a few questions on coil construction, wire size and type of coils used for "PICK UP" coils (collecting/getting voltage) only.

Good work mrcorrade. A 'core' (assuming metal of some kind) is NOT "needed" for any coil. It will increase inductance if that's what you're after. Making the overall size smaller too. BUT the core can introduce interference, particually in audio applications.

Would have liked to see it running.

@lingcodnine sorry my friend for not showing it run. I've since gone to a manual crank to wind coils. I found I have more control over the tightness and neatness of the coil that way.

@mcorrade Something I didn't think of when I was doing alot of coils: Maybe the small spools of enameled copper wire might already to close to what I;m trying to produce?!? So i'd measure first. Of course I was only making audio crossovers. I had a Amprobe Meterman 37XR (Fluke handles them), it was great. Too big, I'd whack some wire off. Good Luck. J

@lingcodnine ya I used them as well. I eventually just started making my own. I would buy some thick plastic from a home store and use different hole drills and PVC tubing. I found it easier then chopping down old wire spools.

to use the words of Napolian Dynomite, " i dont understand a word you just said"

[mcorrade]

@cessna151 ya ok. So you needed to tell me that instead of just moving along?
