just starting my first wind turbine

[para t8]

im just starting to build my first wind turbine,im a paraplegic and want to build a 10'machine.ive made a winder for coils,i made a practice coil it turned out fair.my question is why do i have to use enameled wire?can't i use the regular kind?ive been doing my homework.i gess should know this,but im just starting.                                                                                          para t8

wire must be coated so that winding does not short from one layer to the next. if you use 'regular' coating, it is very thick, does not take heat well, and does not like tight bends. enamel is thiner and tougher.
