  • 6" OO coil

    I wound up a 6" "OO" coil today. Preliminary tests show excellent results!

    It equals my 11" concentric. I might try a few of this style but wish housings
    were available. Packaging can be tricky...

    I found some kite spools that will make for an easy coil build. They are 6.5" diameter by 1/2"
    thick. I figure I'll cut the 1/2" down to 1/4" and cut off 1/2 the spool then wind the coils and
    slide them into balance by swapping the cut parts.

    It's kind of hard to draw but something like this;

    oooooooooo <<<< xxxxx
    xxxxx <<<< oooooooooo

    The x's are the remaining of the side that's cut off.
    The O's are the full side with wire wound on it.
