Materials
[edit | edit source]- 1 spool of 22 gauge solid magnetic wire
- Wire cutters
- Electrical tape
- Multimeter
- Power source (batteries)
Creating an extension wire for the forward lead
[edit | edit source]Cut an approximately three and a half inch section off from the spool of magnetic wire. If the magnetic wire is enamel coated then the enamel from each end must be removed to ensure a good connection.
Attaching Extension wire to forward lead
[edit | edit source]Now that the enamel has been removed from all ends, take one end of the extension wire and bend it into a hook, this hook shouldn't comprise of any more than a half an inch. The lead that protrudes from the center of the spool is the forward lead. Bend the forward lead into a hook. Hook together the hooks of the forward lead and the extension wire.--SeanShriner (discuss • contribs) 20:56, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Finishing the coil
[edit | edit source]Make sure the extension wire then bends along the spool. Take a piece of electrical tape and place it over the interlaced hooks and the piece of the extension wire running along the spool.
