Coils
LOL, the coils will take quite a while to wind.. But you seem to be quite a patient guy

actually mate, the coils will only take a day or so to wind, well for the first three anyway. Thats all the wire I have at the moment, but three coils will get the thing crankin. I already have them divided up, and a jig about %60 done. I need to bolt the thing down so I can get a final measurement on the length of the coil and then I can finish the jig and off I go.
Compared to how long I have waited to get it this far the coils will be a walk in the park!

Great progress ren
Your machine looks awesome! Can't wait to see it run.
Thkank you for sharing

Thankyou Jet. I appreciate it. I cant wait to see it run too.
Still got those neos laying around for one?"Once you've come to the conclusion that what what you know already is all you need to know, then you have a degree in disinterest." - John DobsonComment

Yes, they are just sitting on a shelf and waiting
I have been so busy the last months that I haven't got a chance to work even on the attraction motors that is the first thing on my list. But I hope things will change till the end of the summer

Nice build so far Ren.....
I look forward to additional pictures.....
The braided sterio speaker wire (250 ft of 16 guage braided copper) I tried on my motor worked well but now I have to rewind it with a trigger wire so that I can use both strands of speaker wire as power windings...... I am sure with one strand of 16 gauge as a trigger wire the thing is not that efficient.....
Maybe I will work on a triggering disk next so that I can use a Hall or Optic trigger.....
Have fun.......

window motor 2n3055 instead mjl21193 and mjl21194?
Hi;my knowledge in electronics is poor so I want to asking your opinion ....
It is posiible to change the mjl21193 and 21194 with 2N3055 transistor for an
little low power window motor?
The circuit will work with 2N3055?
Thanx

Hi Mike
Sure you can use the 2n3055 and the 2n2955 instead of the bigger transistors

Often known as the MJ2955. If you use TO3s like these its easy to hook the bridge up. Buy some ring connectors and use one side of the case for the power wire/s and the other side of the case for the ac connection to the bridge. Bolt it all downOriginally posted by Mark View Post

Ok Ren you've had more than a couple of days to wind your coils, whats the hold up
I want to see Vader working with the force!

True, you got me there Mark.
Small re-machining of the formers done yesterday. Custom washers made too. Coil jig is complete.
I want to build it right, apologies for the waiting, believe you me, it's infinitely more painful on this end. But it's no use rushing it, when that happens I usually have to go back and redo it.
Fingers crossed, Ill have the first coil wound in the next couple of days.

Too many wards
Ren, you've warded yourself twice; crossed fingers AND touched wood.. Quick, throw some salt over Vader
Take care

Lol. Done Ben.
Now to keep a close eye out for black cats.
Mark, a short video just for you.
Hope its somewhat appeasing to the senses

Ahhhh Thanks Ren, that was a small fix. I need more!
Looks nice and smooooth with a long run down time!
I've got a 5 lb spool of 30awg flat wire that would look real nice all coiled up on that.
I'll need another fix on Monday so get winding.
