I can't figure what he means either...but I've
studied how this was wound originally with 2
wires
On my botched up website....later on in this escapade....
I'm going to use 2 colored strings....I'll
hook them each onto opposing commutator bars and
I wind a few turns on each side then the next
pair and winding another few turns then go thru
the whole pattern but from thereon only
a couple of turns and they aren't hooked up to
the commutator bars again until each coils end !
and each end will be hooked up to the commutator
bar that it's mate started out when the winding
was started.
Winding it with the colored string and winding
and connecting only 2 bars on each side will
illustrate when the brushes are contacting 2
bars (on each side) simultaneously and it will
be seen that all the coils are hooked up...
The path is thru all of the windings at any
time the commutator bars just tap into this
coil/s there are really only two positions...when
the brushes are in contact with two bars...and
when they are dead center one bar on each side.
I'm relating this as I would be talking to a
beginner...a peer in this experience...so no one
should take offense...in fact if I'm wrong..someone quickly correct me...it's all about sharing and learning...right?
When I unwound my first armature I found
where the one and only end of the single winding
(or so I thought)had ended, then half way thru I
thought I had broke the wire, so I finished
unwinding the armature and rewound it with more and smaller wire still under the misapprehension that it was a single winding ...despite the comedy of many errors and sloppy, hasty workmanship it improved the voltage at 700 rpm
....almost double.
My second unwinding I checked more closely
and discovered the tail end of the wire wrapped
around the bar connection along with another strand of wire coming from another coil. I then
find another similar setup on the opposing bar,
alternating unwinding the 2 seperate windings
...I finally discovered that it had started out
as two seperate windings...the wire end of each
was tucked into the nearest slot then wrapped
around the bar connector....big revelation (to a newby)!
Well this is where my learning
curve is at this point in time!
Later....
