How to build a Rodin Coil

@magpie

I think you are doing a good job here. I will post your topic at the joule thief topic so anybody interested come here.

Thanks Jesus,

I don't know much about the Joule thief, does it produce some sort of voltage spike?
What sort of effects would we be expecting connecting the Rodin coil to the Joule Thief circuit?

...and the purpose is?

This coil produces a magnetic vortex along with many other interesting effects, however it has had little public research on it so why not experiment?

AT THE SAME TIME .....  what if ....  pulse 1 collect pulse outer collect .....

REALLY FAST.....

ist

AC OUT ?   DC IN ?? 

Read my latest post on my other Rodin coil thread, judging from some simple tests what you say may actually be possible except likely the other way around...

IF the juice is flowing in one direction on one winding and one direction on the other, shouldn't the fields cancel each other out?

Hey Jadaro,

With insulated wire nothing happens in that configuration obviously because of the insulation being in the way.
The original Rodin coil calls for unisulated wire, I did not have this available so connected it like a normal coil and still got a vortex effect, if you configure the wires differently it porduces different effects. For example, you can get it to produce a conical magnetic field that has avery small "pinch" instead of a strong vortex, I'll post videos of the wire configuration tests when I have time.
If uninsulated wire is available though why not connect it per Rodin's specs to see what happens?

@magpie

Did you every try your coil with a joule thief curcit?

It would be interesting to see what happens.

Hi slayer007,

I haven't yet, could you point me to a simple circuit diagram for the Joule Thief?
Thanks
