... could you post a spreadsheet of the raw data so that we can project trends and verify experementally?...

Here it is JS - I'm not sure if I collected all of the data but this is what I got. As came up before, the results don't tell us much because the current measurements are all in the last digit and that meter has a resolution of +/- 3 digits. This means that the efficiencies that were reported as, say, 160%, could just as easily be, say, 50%. The voltage measurements look OK though as they're very consistent in predicting the turns ratio.

Dear All,

I just sent some really great pictures to JustMe of Luc hard at work creating a 700 strand Litz primary.  Pay close attention - that is 126 feet of wire he is using and he made 3 spools like this. (hopefully she can post them soon)

It takes about 4 hours to lay down what you see in the photos and about another 4 hours to wind 1 spool. ThatÃ,’s after he washes the floor first.

Luc has spent the past 3 days and about 30 hours creating a new primary Ã,â€" hopefully it will work out?

Thane, Luc, JustMe,

I didn't know if you were joking when you first talked about Luc winding 700 strand Litz. I first though of my comments about Luc's magnets ( it would take superman to pull them apart). Didn't understand how a 700 strand Litz wire could be done manually other then by superman. Thanks for the great pictures and how to get er done, very motivational.

Great job people,
Larry

FOR ANYONE WHO'S COUNTING THATS OVER - 4 MILES / SPOOL AND LUC MADE 3 SPOOLS (12.5 MILES) THIS WEEKEND BUT ONLY WOUND 4 MILES SO FAR ON THE PRIMARY. - THE FIRST 9 MILES DIDN'T WORK.
