Hello I have a question about winding coil. What would be the best way to wind the coil, using multiple wires or the single wire? I have 15 gauge spool. I have...

multiple strands allow for heavier current output. Multiple smaller strands allow for same current output, but easier coil winding. On Sat, 08 Jan 2011...

Thanks for suggestion Steve. Since I have already made coils of 15 gauge, single strand and 100 turns, I assume that it would give comparitivly higher voltage...

multiple strands of the same gauge will provide more amps (if you have the wind to push it). Multiple strands of smaller gauge will make your coils easier to...

You won't find many usable parts in existing motors. the wires in old motors are too small in diameter, and there's no magnets, or the wrong kind of magnets....
