I am happy to report progress.
so after a considerable amount of extra experiments I found that there might be a good reason to use smaller diam wires after all.
You see that I now hold the believe that while using litz wired coils one can have more wires exposed to the field where it matters as opposed to a single larger diam wire.
And since we are talking about AC here rather than the DC tests I run for establishing a field strength there is soo much less heat build up as the electrons go back and forth thus constantly not going at full speed. (this is just what I think there is going on. totally not based on actual science!!)
Please allow me to explain.
Does one remember when I asked to hold ones buttocks most recently?
Well that was a single wired 35-70-35 coil in but 3mm.
When spun over close to the magnets it spewed out an insane amount of vAC. More insane than I have ever seen in similar conditions with only the coil as parameter. It was for sure the most impressive voltage generation I have ever seen in my line of testing yet. In that context of course. Sure I have seen higher values but that was because the coils were more potent.
Now please remember how sad I was when I was unable to demonstrate a beneficial voltage generation ability when a similar coil was backed up by iron powder.
Yeah that pretty much stopped me dead in my believe that I can think of new ways of demonstrating my hypotheses. I for one for now still do not know any other experiment I can try.
Well 2 things turned out in favor of good old iron powder in the long run. Hahah what did you expect gang? That I would lets things go that fast?
It turns out that having the coil legs of this said coil being backed by iron powder legs then the field it produces at 32 vDC is around 13 mT rather than the 10mT when not backed.
Ok Ok I'll be honest. I am not even sure I actually correlate those two findings. So just let us put that in the freezer for now.
And then of course the second thing which was actually not a new thing but the insane heat dissipation enhancement it all brings.
So I am going to take shortcuts now as I can't create charts that will satisfy everyone.
So I will make the next few posts on what charts I am going to make and then allow for suggestions on how to fine tune them before I actually start going deep and start endless measurements.
Also I have some other good news. Remember when I said that 3mm was minimum? (the narrower one can make a coil the more field it will produce where it matters (close to the magnets)) Hahahah turns out though that that was not even the minimum thickness.
Nah, this will be my baseline coil after some consideration. I have one thing holding me back though. Perhaps a 35-70-70-35 configuration would be better. Please share your thoughts.
The niche part about this test coil is is that it is but 10mm thick while boasting a litz wire of 5 x 0.4 mm.
One thing I do know already is that but 1 wire out of that lists wire will produce around 7 mT at 32 vDC. But my lab equipment is not up to the job when exposed to 5 times this simple coil. It just starts being unable to just blast on.
Anyway with my farmers logic I get to around 35 mT.
wait what? 35 mT holy smokes!! if that is true.
Yeah my thoughts exactly. I hate it when a plan does not come together as I clearly did not buy the correct lab equipment to be able to run scientific analysis at this scale.
More to follow on how I plan to document things before we actually go and do it.
