I can hook wires up both ways but if the winds are CW and CCW and I wind them both the same? see what I mean?
Everyone thinks just reverse the wires, NO!! You can't if the coil is wound backwards.
See what I mean? Bob sent me a link about Thanes connections but it didn't work.
But one thing we have is the Auroratek diagram.
I have just finished my cores. 3 are bound together as one using high frequency ferrite material. This makes the secondary core 50 percent larger than the 2 primary links combined.
Very important to proportion the flux paths.
As shown in the Auroratek pictures the large core is a combination of 2 taped together side by side touching tightly. This is the proper way. Tape is used to keep the secondary core material together as one core.
So i am using a total of 5 high frequency ferrite cores to get the right amounts of flux path. I wound one coil and couldn't get it off the spool and the Dia. was off, just a test with a few wraps gorilla glued.
King Kong could get that stuff loose. I am searching for a smaller spool insert out back and tough paper to wind on to make it easy to slip off the winding spool.
I think I heard Thane say in a video that his winding were all the same direction but Bills has one counter wound.
That is why I am stuck.
Let see CCW and CW
Which way should I go? Well I'll wind up 4 coils and try them all. No biggy if there is nothing for sure anywhere.Mike
