This is a Rodin 360 Coil. My previous coils have all been based on 36 degrees where you have 9 or 18 wires of the same circuit next to each other then the same amount of wire of the second circuit next to those. This coil has one wire every degree then the second circuit is next to that. This way there are no wires of the same circuit next to one another. The wire is 24ga magnet wire.

I energized the coil at 20.6 Hz 180 degrees out of phase at 5 VAC drawing 1.5 amps or so. The 1" neodymium sphere magnet, grade N42, 64.4 grams, spins at high RPMs with significant torque. But the interesting thing is that the sphere is held in place by the magnetic field of the coil and won't fall out even when I pick up the coil. The neoball stays levitated in midair in the center while spinning. I have filed a provisional patent on this new coil design this morning. You are free to make this coil for personal use but if you want to make this for commercial use or for sale you will need to license it from me to help fund ongoing research. Thank you.

  • Jamie, Ok maybe I ...

    Jamie, Ok maybe I got it now.
    First wrap pin sequence:
    1, 139,277,55,193,331,109,247,25,163,301
    79,217,355,133,271,49,187,325,103,241,19,157,295,73,211,349,127,265,43,181,319,97,235,13,151,289,67,205,343,121,259,37,175,313,91,229,7,145,283,61,199,337,115,253,31,169,307,85,223,360
    then move over to pin 4 repeat sequence,
    pin 7 repeat, pin 10 repeat, first coil done.
    Next lay coil 2 down next to one,
    Is that it? My head hurts!

  • You put 120 pins ...

    You put 120 pins around the toroid every 3 degrees. Butt up against the pins is the first coil which is every 1, 7, and 4. The first pin, starting, is one. The second pin is four, and the third pin is seven. 138 degrees from the first pin is a 7 pin. 138 degrees further around from there is a 4 pin. You will do this 30 times until you come back to the starting but move over 3 degrees and repeat this 3 more times. 30 wraps X 4 is 120. 2nd wind goes right next to the first. 3rd left blank.

  • Jamie, Wonderful ...

    Jamie, Wonderful work, that had to be a tedious wind! Ok please confirm from the 138 degree offset for each wrap ( not 150 offset), we have coil1, first wrap cycle uses pins 0,6,12,18,24,30,36, etc ( not in that order tho ) 60 pins total
    2nd wrap pins 1,7,13,19,25,25,31,etc
    60 pins total
    wrap 3, pins 2,8,14,20,26,32, etc for 60 pins total
    wrap 4, pins 3,9,15,21,27,33 for 60 pins
    all together 240 / 360 pins used for the first coil, repeat for 2nd.

    whew, right? aloha
