i think this one is platnum ...

lol

if it is i have 50 amps like this one ... 

it is non magnetic and almost the same colour as the pins i drilled ... it aint gold ... and it is in the same place as where the gold was...


makes me wonder ...  i kinda think it is ...  imagine a lb of that metal ...  hummmmm

ist!

looks like the REST IS SLIVER....

like 30 000  / pound ...  this is out dated ...  info it may have gone up or down since then .. plus if ya didnt know ... your catalatic convertor in your exaust system ... are designed to COLLECT PLATNUM....  probally why they used to PUT LEAD IN THE FUEL...  what ya think ?

LEAD TO GOLD ? HUMMMMMMMM

another stupid simple JOKE!  money ..  hahahaha
i perfer THE TRUTH!

smile ...  : ) : ) : )

@ kooler

Thanks for the video of the dual toroids. I would like to replicate this, but I am not sure if I understand how they are connected. Is this how you have them hooked up?

simple force feed method...

mod a spin brush ... for a vibrateing contact ... pass pos through it ....   

ya! 

now be carefull ...

they run high speed on an aa ..

just another old toy ...

ist!   what if i used gold and a neo zap ....  hummmmm

i trip over the millions of ways i have to the same answer ....

Kooler , nice work , i have done several multi core jt , i will give you a trick

You should try to separate the secondaries and bridge both , you should get about the same voltage , but you will be able to load the toroid separately , instead of together , this should give you more power.

Make a test with a cap , check the voltage drop to the cap voltage on both core , then separate them see now one core loaded voltage the other is still unloaded .

Anyway keep the good work.

Gadget:

I have room for about 600 winds on my "W" toroid of 28 ga. Newbie wire.  Not much more than that though and that is with very close and careful winds with no overlaps and no gaps.  It took me 3 evenings of about 3.5 hours per evening just to wind my 330 turns.  I don't know if I have the patience to wind that many, plus, since I have double stacked toroids, it takes a lot more wire per turn.

I agree with your coating the toroids suggestion.  Hey, what about that stuff that you can dip tool handles into to make plastic handle covers?  Do you know the stuff I mean?  It is mostly made in red but you dip tools into it to coat them...would that be too thick after dipping and block the inductance?  The only reason I thought of it is that it would be simple to get a nice, smooth uniform coating by dipping.  It might be too thick though.  What do you think?

Here is the link:  http://www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip

I see it is available in many colors now.

***EDIT***

I see they have it in spray form too and it is available at Lowe's, Ace Hardware and
Harbor Freight among other places.
