Its funny as I was winding the coils I was cutting the cloth progresively longer, for the growing diameter ,but it never occured to me that the windings were getting longer...........little things like this that I really appreciate...........I might have realized it eventually.....but thanks to you it's instant............thats what makes these forums' so great...........thanks again Bill..........shylo

You are welcome.  Hey, I just thought of that myself after reading your post over again so...it is not like I knew it all along, ha ha.

I approach the magnet I come from the east ...then the west....the same end of the peice always attracts the same pole of the magnet.....is this maybe the result of the manufacturing process?.

I would think the earths magnetic field is involved with this. Ive taken a bare small laminated electrical steel core and the compass barely moves. Ive taken a much larger one and it moves it significantly. When I reversed the orientation of the core it reversed the east west. This was all without using a magnet.

why wouldn't the 3, .5v layers add up to 1.5v,..instead of .98v

Im thinking each one had its own charge. When connected together they added. The question is will it stay that way over time once it reaches its balance. Another thing is the stranded wire. Wires that run close together in parallel have capacitance. More wires in parallel with stranded wire may have given you more charge. The same setup should be done with solid wire with approximately the same amount of circular mills as the stranded wire has. That might tell us something.
Seeing how 3 separate groups of stranded wire were not continuously in parallel,not each individual strand connected together to the other strands,that may account for the voltage drop.

Ive been pondering a different way for a secondary using stacked split ring iron toroids which could be wired up with just cotton and copper or with the iron wire also. Dont really know if a closed toroid would be better but lots of different ways to play with it. Inserting cotton or something else that might help charge into the closed toroid center is something to think about. Different ways of wiring this up. A cradle made from a laminated steel transformer core cut in half attached to the poles of the core would make stacking fairly easy. That should induce the magnetic field into the iron toroids. Each one could be wired separately and then tied together. Even a copper wire toroid might be used. The flow of the current and magnetic field off the Ns primary coil would cut the copper at right angles in this configuration. Fun stuff!!

Also consider that, if you are winding your "separate" coils by the layer, the outside layers will be larger in diameter and will therefore have more wire than the inner layer or layers.  Just another thought as to what might be happening here.  This would create different inductance and resistance on the different coil layers.

To prove this start with equal lengths of wire.
Then as the coil gets larger (fatter) there will be the same amount of wire per layer, just not as many turns.
I'm not sure of the effect this will have so maybe only try 2-3 layers.

Your iron wire and possibly your core. Even if your wire was high iron low carbon,which Im sure its not,you would still have some remanence. The common galvanized steel wire is mainly a steel alloy which can become permanently magnetized even with low ma's. A rebar core will do the same as its another higher carbon steel.

So you're implying LaserSaber could have created a permanent magnet using Galvanized steel wire around an iron core?

Then the question would be how long will LaserSaber's newly created magnet last?
