I salute you ... But <<BUT>>

The first instructional I found on the internet (youtube) is Wrong! Thus, I do not post the link here.

Too many windings are on the coil.
I don't know the stuff you know Richard, but I know how to follow instructions and this guy is doing it incorrectly.

Rodin calls it a Binary-Triplet coil.
The instructional is correct about the 36 points, 12 per winding.
You have two options: smaller wire or bigger toroid..
The option is not what this guy did, which is ..
just move the pins so he can get more windings on.
It might be easier if you take the time, using two colored pins to mark
two sets of pins, 1-12 (see Mark Rodin's video)
Label your toroid's top and bottom...This might be very important to know.

The sticky part is how to begin the second winding.. I don't remember.
If the first winding started out over the top, does the second winding
start out going under the bottom?
This very question was Asked at overunity, I believe.. there should be
a link to that and how it was resolved within this tread The Number Matrix and Rodin Coil

Marko Rodin's vortex-based mathematics part 1 of 44
Video #1 and #2 speak of the coil and it's winding.
Mark shows a Rodin coil and tells you he did not make it.
The coil Mark shows does not look like what he tells you it should be.. it too
looks as if it has too many windings on it.

You want the surface of the toroid to be covered by 3 equal sized areas.
2 of those are windings and the 3rd area is EMPTY.
It isn't a Rodin Coil without an equal area given for the Empty Winding.
The empty space is very important. (Mark's video explains why)
When you get done, your coil should look like you are 2/3rds done and
not finish.

Suggest having multiple pre-cut cut pieces of tape handy so you can stop
and rest .. or you get interrupted during the winding.

I'm not just this time ..
Love and Light
Randy
