HUH?

Its awg 19. It will only handle 1.8 amps until it starts to heat up using standard "hot" electricity. With unbundled chassis wiring in air its good for about 14 amps. I would think that wrapping it up into coils may even make it lower than 1.8 amps as there is not much heat escape. Keeping it damp or in the cold would alleviate most of the heat.

@lasersaber   great vids. 


@all
It sucks that the pic was a fake,  sorta expected it when i saw the reed switch on it, being they didnt come around for like 40 years after the NS coil did.



Has anyone used a motor to wind their primaries?  I have only done one and it was by hand,  just curious if there are any complications with it?

    Im not too familiar with transistors but from what i read it has three prongs,  CB and E,   CE gets connected to the wire and B gets grounded, i think its connected to a resistor as well,     this should provide the fast switching action.

@IotaYodi    From what has been shown by lasersabers vids,  its approximately 10 milliamps per layer of windings,  to reach the limit of that wire would require over a thousand of layers. That is not to say that one should reach the maximum current limit of the wire.

I just want to add to Localjoe's measurement conversion regarding Lasersabers .9mm wire
.9mm is also 0.035 inches.

An easy way to convert from MM to Inches is to multiply the MM size by .03937.

Hi LaserSaber thanks for that vid interesting. Did you used steel wire not iron?
Ok thanks

In case anybody else wants to know, I asked Sargent-Welch for the composition of the "Soft-Iron" used by LaserSaber. Here is what they gave me:

Minimum Properties
Ultimate Tensile Strength, psi    63,800
Yield Strength, psi                   53,700
Elongation                             15.0%
Rockwell Hardness                   B71

Chemistry
Iron (Fe)              98.81 - 99.26%
Carbon (C)            0.18%
Manganese (Mn)    0.6 - 0.9%
Phosphorus (P)      0.04% max
Sulfur (S)             0.05% max


So, what is it? According to my McMasterCarr catalog, it is 1018 Steel!

By the way, it works out to a couple dollars cheaper than McMasterCarr.
