How to build a Rodin Coil

Here is the possible rodin coil joule thief configuration.

Edit:

If the rodin coil has two coils, then the configuration is just exactly as the one used for the Joule thief toroid.

Aaah, thanks Yucca,

If you look at the first video I put up showing my first (the orange) coil, you can see there is a ten degree space between the first and second coil as per the diagram, should I be pushing the first and second coils together?
I should point out that my coils are also different in that they use insulated wire, I haven't gotten hold of uninsulated wire but do you know of a solvent for the shellac?
I wonder what happens if you make the first coils out of three winds and the second out of six, I might try fitting on a third coil of nine winds...

Hi Magpie,

If you can push the first and second coil together and end up with the gap being the same width as 1 coil band then that should give you the config as per Rodins spec. On a tightly packed coil then you could remove winds until you have one third gapspace and then push the coils together.

I think insulated wire is a requirement. Wire from TV degausing coil, like you´re using, tends to be good quality copper with good varnish, should be perfect.

I don´t know about winding one wrap with multiple of three and other with multiple of six. Rodin never mentions it, but it´s all worth experimenting with.

I can´t find much info about Rodin coils, so it looks like an exciting area of frontier research.

P.S.
If you´ve not watched them yet then do try and watch Rodins youtube vids, I watched them all over 3 nights a few months back, fairly easy and enjoyable watching. He handles a coil so you can have a good look at it.

I did not want to say anything yet, but I am having a tremendous success!!!!!!

I expect that it would have to be a rodin-coil hybrid - where one solenoid was inside the rodin - and the two would interact accordingly; I suppose that this would have it's best effects if the inner coil were the lesser wound - for the voltage, and the inner were for the current - after all, that's what a rodin coil is for isn't it?

I am trying to make an electronic circuit for my coil so that it can make a neodymium ball spin. I've tried out a few circuits including Jack Scholz's Rodin/starship coil circuits on youtube
but they don't work.


I'm actually using a Starship coil, which is similar to a Rodin coil, but easier to make.
Could someone post a simple Rodin coil circuit diagram/schematic that will make a metal ball spin? Thanks
