Hi all!
I'm new here, and I'm having a hard time finding the info on how to wind a coil. I've looked through otherpower pretty well, but couldn't find the detailed info.
I'm making a "micro" wind powered generator for a "Dancing LED'S" front porch lamp.
I'm using 5/8" dia magnets that are 1/8 inch thick. I thought I was supposed to make round coils... with the center about the same size as the dia of the magnet, but I'm seeing this odd eliptical shape in some of the other experiments at otherpower.com.
I'm seeing this odd eliptical shaped coil even when people use round magnets like mine.
***** Can anyone point me to the technical info for winding a coil? *****
Thanks,
ER
