Securing your coils

[Dan Heal]

Hey guys,

I have access to some aluminium sheet, I was wondering if this is a suitable material for fabricating brackets to secure coils for my monopole. Any input would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dan,
Aluminium is a very excellent Conductor, a bulk Aluminium such as you Coil securer in your application is not recommanded
as it can retrad your Rotor due to Eddy Current Induction and eventually result a loss in the process.
do not use any Conductive meterial for this application. go ahead with any Insulating meterial.

Note : Aluminium rotor is used but it is always is in relative stationary with either the Coil's collasping Magnetic Field or the rotor Magnets.

Rgds,

Thanks Faraday, as usual your insight has blown me away. I wish I was as knowledgeable as yourself.
