Hy, John K,
I'm planning to buy some wire for a bigger coil - 6 or 7 strands, 0,9 mm (AWG 19) or 1 mm (AWG 18), depending on final costs, but I'm not sure about how long the wire should be for each strand. Let me explain. In your first post, you said
, but according to this wire calculator site, 125 feet #18 wire = 0.814 ohm resistance. Only #20 wire = 1,29 Ohm at this length. Differences in cost are quite big, when we are talking about multiple strands, and I want to make the coil the right way. I found this online calculator to be handy for finding out the resistence of the wires, the copper weight which generate the costs and so on.
So, which it's the most important factor, the resistance (1,2 ohm) of the wire per strand, or a fixed length, let's say 130 feet / strand, no matter the thickness of the wire? Because for #18 wire, 1,2 ohm means 190 ft/ 58 m., according to the above wire calculator, so I can make only a 5 strand coil on a standard spool.
I don't have access to the book, so far.
It would be, thought, very nice to have some minimal instructions, a sticky thread, for example, on how to build a functional Bedini device, at least for the beginners.
Best regards,
Teo
