Make Your Own Machine To Wind Cotton On A Bare Copper Wire for STUBBLEFIELD COIL

[electricme]

Hmm,

This is worth trying as an experiment, just to see if it will work, if it does then we would have some moden material that others could use too.


But make a stubblefield coil out of the cotton covered wire first so you have something to benchmark it against.

Stubblefield said his coils could operate in the ground for years with no problems.  I don't think the cotton will rot as there is no air to get to it but, an experiment is always good, then we will know.

@ all,

Just a reminder, lets keep this thread just on the Stubblefield Cotton Winding Machine and the mechanical components it will be built from.

I don't want to take away from the LocalJoe Stubblefield thread anything related to it here.

Got my Thread - Cats like Thread.
Weighting on my pulleys.
I have found some likely pipe for the shaft but then I need to have the pulleys so I can get the bearings etc etc
No pulley pairs at scrap dealer yet so I wait.

Got my Pullys.
I am seriously thinking of cutting them (Or one of them) in half.
I would then have a thiner setup overall like you suggested Jim.
I will run in to town tomorrow to check the availability of Bering sizes.
I'll stop by the machine shop to check cost of cutting a belt notch.
May be able to do this myself but if they can - all the better.
