Hi all,
Here are some pics that show 'one possibility' of how to make a VIC. I am not saying this is the best or anything. It IS a unicore like Stan Meyer talks about in 'some' of his writings. The primary/secondary power is on the same core as the bifilar chokes.
IGNORE THE QUADFILAR WINDINGS ON THE COILS...Meyer's only used 2 windings on each. Just look at the concept of the metal and how it is constructed as a simple example of 'how' you could make a unicore for easy winding.
The core is not physically attached to the spool...at least not solidly. You can remove the core....this makes for easy winding on the spools, then you can slip in the core. the core obviously has a cutout to mount the other part of the core to it very flatly.
Some may think that a core like this is the same as a torroid (circular) core, but please don't think in these terms. If it is not a round core, then literally, it is NOT a torroid.
Anyway, on the unicore design, just remember that the magnetic field created by power coil side is partly available at the choke core side.
I believe that bundled welding rod for a core works better so it lets go of the field quicker and has less eddy currents BUT, this is just a plain simple way to make a unicore.
