So been wrapping this all day, trying to figure out a system. Finally making some progress.
This is the most complicated coil I ever wrapped. This method ensures good ohmage, lots of turns, and I think it will virtually rotate better than other designs.. But the overlapping absolutely sucks..
I can not just wrap 1 coil then the next, because where they all cross will bulge 4.5" on either side on the higher numbers, making the resistance between coils way way off. So I have to work 9 separate reels, making 20 turns, then switch to the next reel, 20 turns, and weaving around , repeat, repeat, repeat until I have hundreds of turns on each coil..
Hope the work is worth it at the end!
Edit- I am wrapping it like this to keep the polarities correct. The entire core, I want 1 side North, the other South, divided in half. If it is meant to mimic an alternator in motion, I think this is the design it must be. A virtual rotating coil is not really rotating if we are not using both polarities of the coil.
