ok all
edit 10-16-2007 as of this time all photos are correct all wire are correct for my core (my choice)
here is the 4 coils on core first layer.
edit added wraped with fiberglass insulators
front and inter coil is 48 turns 20 ga
the top and bottom is 32 turns 20 ga
(at time could not get solid wire)
then the secondary is 128 turns 16 ga tifflon silver coated stranded (my choice)
my 6 primarys will be 20 turns of 16 ga tifflon silver coated stranded (my choice)
Looks good! You wind quickly ;D

to all
took about 2 hour each to wind each one the middle the hardest
fingers got real tired did one a knight
wer
this is my pwm3f-hd board
doing a power test befor putting in the chips
Hey Wer,
Awesome Coil man!! Looks like a beauty. Keep up the good work :).
God Bless,

@ All
second dary layer done
09-23-07 new winding ccw
@ Wer
Beautiful work, my friend!
I almost can't wait to get back from my vacation and to start winding. Are you going to wind three primaries or six?
Warm regards,
Bruce
hello Bruce and all
had to rewind core the new core will have
6 prymarys at 20 turns each
To ALL builders
i used 20 ga wire for all 4 coils and it took about 208 ft
all coils are ccw but bottom one it is cw looked at Bobs pics to see direction.
i wound the center coil on a Insulated soda can holder, soft foam type.
a tad less than 3 1/2 inches across, then fed the wire in one winding at a time,
i also used a 3m contact spray adhesive to hold the wires in place. it takes a while.
thanks
wer
Thanks a bunch Weri!
I just wound 48 turns of the magnetic bias. A bit harder to do than it looks, but it came out pretty! I plan on winding one segment a night.
Thanks for the info...you should post it on your thread, it may help others.
Warm regards,
Bruce
to all i left the ends non shorted for future use.
easyer to short than to un tape and quicker to get to.
all wires comming off core will have a seprate conection on the abs plastic electrical box
that i will put it in it will be12x12x6" my controller will mount on top of box
with the 18v battery power supply that i will use.
will also have a verable high/low bias control. have not built that yet.
thanks
;D
To All
take the first picture and print useing microsoft picture fax viewer
take picture draw 0-120-240 lines then 60-180-300 if using 6 coils
put coil on picture then daw lines
HERE ARE MY FINISHED CORES
OK, I have to ask this question for prosperity and that way no misunderstandings. I 'think' I have seen two ways to wind this torrid. Secondary under the primarys and primarys under the secondary. Which way is correct?
If someone out there has wound using 16 and 20, do you by chance have a winds count for each? I want to measure the length of one wind then multiply by total so I can make sure to order enough wire. All would be much helpful.
thaelin
ps. think that the coil here will yeild the total count for the 20. Really just need the 16 counts.

hello All
clean up post
Weri,
How come your Prime's are wound CW? All else is wound for Northern Hemisphere.
Ward
it was wound wrong
it is correct now

sorry cleaning house

Hello Ward
acording to Bob they are wound ccw
he said to wind up from middle across top then outside to inside going around the core in a ccw motion
thanks
wer
My dear Wer,
I am so sorry to have to say this, especially knowing how much time and effort is involved in winding one of these coils, but you are incorrect. Bob Boyce said they are wound CCW starting at the inside and winding to the outside on the top longitudinal winding. The bottom longitudinal winding is wound CW starting from the inside and winding to the outside, because it is "flipped, and when flipped, it will be on the bottom.
The bias longitudinal winding is CCW starting from the top and winding to the bottom. The inner core is identical, CCW starting from the top and winding to the bottom.
The secondary is wound CCW, and this also, in a CCW direction. The same is true with the primaries.
Bob Boyce wrote to me just a short time ago, concerned, because it appeared to be wound CW, also, to him. He has not been able to access the forum, like the rest of us.
So sorry my friend, hang in there! All will learn from this.
Bruce
to all
i added a picture of 2 cores 1 ccw 1 cw
@Weri
Take a look from the point of view of a CCW rotating field riding around the circle within the core. As you (the field) enter the tunnel (the coil) and pass through it, which direction are the windings turning as you are passing down that CCW path? The one you marked as CCW is actually CW to the vantage point of a CCW rotating field, and the one you have marked as CW is actually CCW to the vantage point of a rotating field. This winding direction is what determines the direction of spin interaction of the rotating field.
Bob
thank you BOB
all need to look at the two cores
mine was wound wrong am redoing
thanks again Bob for the info

@Bob,
Sorry to post, but this will help others. I looked back a page and could not tell if Weri edited that diagram with "Edit" label. It appears correct as of Sep 21. Can't we just say a CCW winding appears as a "Left handed" or reverse thread on a bolt or nut? In case of toroid, imagine it straightened out and observe the 'tread' direction as if it was a threaded bolt.
Ward
hello Ward
good to hear from ya
yes i edited the cores to make them corect
am rewinding my cor now
will make some changes
thanks
wer
@ All
here is a pdf about Bob's hod system
startingt on the bottem of page 8
HI allÃ,Â
over on section 1Ã, you will find my rewoundÃ, core with 6 primary windings and my finished winding
have a look any coments please

Hello ALL
Finished putting my core in a protective box.
Checked ohms L1 dc bias 1.0 ohms, L2-L3 top and bottom coils .6 ohms, L4 center coil .5 ohms
L5 secondary .5 ohms, all 6 primary's are .4 ohms each. All readings were done with a greenlee DM-110 meter.
Now i can seal this box and get on to boxing the pwm3f-hd with 18 volt battery, dewalt extra heavy duty.
This box will be metal. Added 2 pictures.

Good thinking Wer,
I never occurred to me to encase the TPU in a box. But it makes sense, and definitely makes it easier to hook stuff up to.
I forget, do you have a controller to pulse your coil with?
God Bless,
