Stubblefield coils (bifilar) and speculations

[jeanna]

Anyone here have any ideas on the capacitor values best to try for low power like this?

Hi Storre,

I cannot answer that question, but that subject is the reason I did the research on the RLC circuits and I posted the link somewhere to Barry's RLC website.

I found that from a search for  coil guns and related info.

It is closely related because we are wanting to use what we have and to get it to pulse by an oscillation. That RLC circuit is an oscillation circuit.

Now, the reason I have been asking for someone who has an oscilloscope to make a coil is so we can know the approximate frequency of a given amount of copper wound on a coil when it is closely wound with iron as a bifilar wire, so we can (I can) go from there.

I am again placing my request for this.

Thank you,

jeanna

@ All:

Sorry I have been away for a while.  I have not given up!  I still have some ideas that I will share shortly so stand by.

I stumbled on something I am looking into and will share once I learn more about it.  In the meantime, I hope all of your experiments go better than planned.  Keep up the great work here.  Thanks.

Bill

?and I'm sill here and preparing to rewind my coil using the cotton tubing on both wires.

@ All:

One of the ideas I am playing with involves the bifilar coil, but shaped in a circular configuration.  Not like the TPU but almost.  This shape could be about 300 degrees around as opposed to 360.  Like a circle with a small piece missing.  We could then place these into the ground in a horizontal position instead of vertical.  What advantages there might be I can only guess at this point.  I was also thinking that one could "stack" these in a series connection that might actually work. (Think about stacking these on yet another iron center core.....like horseshoes around a stake)

The rotation of the magnetic fields in the stacked position might actually build upon and feed off each other.  Then again, they may actually cancel each other to some degree.

Just some free thinking here.  I will build several in the near future.
