    Basic basic basic stuff... determing the best wire and wingdings for a coil.

    Ok guys, I'm almost embarrassed to ask, but how do you decide how to wind a coil to get the most electricity out (in watts)? How do you determine wire size, # of winds, etc. to get the best results?

    The limitation is the diameter of the coil. The length of the coil can be as long as needed.

    Thanks in advance. You wont be disappointed. Albeit you hopefully wont realize why.

    Edit: HAHA: sorry about the typos in the title. I'm pretty dang tired atm. To much to do ya know?

    Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's ~BW~ It's kind of fun to do the impossible ~WD~ From now on, I'll connect the dots my own way ~BW~ If I shall be like him, who shall be like me? ~LR~ Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s ~AN~

    Hi shadesz, I've found the 'brooks' coil geometry to be the best.

        Wire manufacturer have info on their site about maximum amperage for each wire size. Then you can calculete simply with voltage.
