Ha amen brotha, well my landlord is a graphic designer so we pulled measurements off those photos like you and figured that the spacing since it's circular is 1/2 on the front and 5/8 on da back, my spacers were a little bit wider than his so it turned out to be about 70 coil spaces. wheras I think his is 76... I visually laid em all out and then came back with a half inch drive extension and spaced them. then over a couple of nights when waiting for wire I coated em all with spray adhesive, I found some rubber double stick junk at a local axman to put in between the pipes and then trimmed with a razor blade...i like that lathe idea better though:idea: We've got about 40 done, my dad has a bad back and needed his transmission installed so I said....:idea: why don't you wrap and I'll get greasy... This project is nuts putzy... should I just make the old circuit for this one or should I boggle my brain with the arduino..ha my computer hacking skills are a little...lame persay.. is there a list of parts that you have somewhere in your backyard for someone that hasn't done much of this side of things before... Thanks so much for any help you can give, oh and the reason I'm doin all 70 coils and not just a couple is cause my buddy thought that it was pretty crucial to cover it as much as possible with the "magnetic field" I ended up going with 100 wraps. not sure if that is correct or not...but we will see soon.. this thing is going to work really good....or it's gonna be an amazing expensive piece of artwork on my wall...ha

wow bro!!! sweet!!! how much wire you got left??? LB wise???
are you putting ferro fluid in that??????? if so i would sat do some testing with the pipe corroding???
also do a pressure test with air and a soap/water spray bottle. i think if the pump seal may need a better seal... just from what i have been gathering!
and on the circuit... for what you are doing... i wonder if it would be better to go with a Stans original circuit so you can say you have the same electronics??? yes??? i would say that's a good idea. you did get the photos with the circuit in it yes?
Thanks

Hey Russ,
I have about prolly ten pounds left..ha eesh
maybe I'll put some ferrel fluid on some copper pipe see what it does...I wonder if it would be okay though since we are putting it in a closed loop configuration. Since there isn't gonnna be incoming oxygen...maybe, I know we have that problem with open loop boilers...could be...
-gonna seal it up today with some form a gasket....hopefully that should be aight.. I'll check for leaks before I put that expensive ferell fluid in..
I'm gonna check that video that you did on the High quality photos again. would there be a chance you could get me a parts list for the old circuit... I know it's asking alot.... I'll get there eventually ha... boy I love to get in over my head...ha
I'm thinkin a brass welding rod for that bussbar, do you have a better suggestion..
Do you think it would be wise to use a 22 guage for the primarys since I used 20 for the secondaries
Thanks Russ and guys for all your help to the newbie..

good questions.
i will get you some info on the chips and such.
it may be wise for you to build the circuit. if you don't have a'n oscilloscope you can send the circuit to me and i will make sure it is functioning correctly if you'd like...
then il send it back.
what the resistance of one coil??? one on the 4 pipe, and one on the 3 pipe?
also i got some brass 1/8 rods from my local hard were store. it was the rule king store here.
also i calculated using number 22 Gage for the coils and 24 i think fir the primary. that is why you may have a lot of wire left over...
i also was calculating for the number of feet for each coil, nit the number of turns... :)

Hey Russ. I got a .7 on the four and a .6 on the three... Thanks so much for the help. hopefully if I could get the parts, my friends and I could wire it up... we will see... got er mounted on the platform and soldered up, the iron cores are on...now just have to wrap the primaries, get the circuilt and buss bars. The pump pumps....what do ya know, just used water at first....
ha opps, not sure how many feet are on each one....was just trusting that if the spacing was correct that I would be good...probably should have measured out each coil in feet verses turns...
also on the primaries I was going to go with the width and diameter of each of those coils to determine the turns, should I instead do a ratio with the secondaries? Is there a ratio....... if a tree falls in a wood and nobody hears it......
is it okay to eat bacon at every meal....
Blazer....that is tight what a great idea, and you are right save some fingers. take care gents and keep pressin on.
