I'm winding a coil for a crystal radio. The original plan says to wind
the antenna coil on top of the tuning coil, whereas another version says
to wind the antenna coil *adjacent* to the tuning coil, separated by about
1/4 inch.
If I wind both versions of the antenna coil on the form, will on...
I had seen a coil wrapped in twin wire. If I design a coil with 1000
T, I use two wire together,
so it mean that I only wrapp 500 T, hence it save my time and
work.Dear members do you have any comment ? Thanks

One problem with stepper motors is that one coil is always on.... a
'trick' to reduce the holding current is stick an R in series with
each coil. Use 4 outputs... a pair for each coil... energize coils
like this to go one way... 01 01, 01 10, 10 10, 10 01, and back to 01
01.

I'm building a spot welder using a modified microwave oven

windings. In doing so, I accidentally "bumped" the primary coil with

slightly displaced by about 1/8 of an i...

The solenoid valves I have seen have 2 parts:
the valve body and the coil.
You select the coil according to the voltage source you have
available.

When you put current through an inductor (like the coil in your
solenoid), it builds up a magnetic "charge"[*], much like a capacitor
stores electric charge. Thus, it resists change to *current* much
like a capacitor resists change to *voltage*.
So, you energize the coil by putting a curren...

I am controlling the coil of a relay using a switching transistor. To
protect the transistor I intend to use a freewheeling diode in parallel
with the coil. I'm not sure of the issues in specifying the diode.
My impulse is to simply use a 1N4007

What would happen if the switch were between the voltage coil and
ground (as it is in the Boost converter)?

To test a non-starting vehicle's distributor, I need an inductive

line gates an SCR which runs Vcc into a coil. The group of coils has

of visible light (between 430 and 750 Tera Hz)?

I have a solenoid actuated air valve that only occasionally is
