Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / November 2006Spark ignition coil
Anybody have hints or instructions on how to wind your own? Read something about a 100-1 coil ratio but what thickness wire is the minimum acceptable? I want them as light as possible. > Anybody have hints or instructions on how to wind your own? > > Read something about a 100-1 coil ratio but what thickness wire is the > minimum acceptable? I want them as light as possible. You can buy these -- I don't know _where_, but the latest Flying Models has a review in one of the columns. For winding your own, do some web searching, or check the "Strictly IC" web site for a back issue with a pertinent article.

I'm in GB and stuff is even more expensive than in the US. I'm not going to fork out more than the strimmer engine cost me on just a coil for making the electronic ignition. > For winding your own, do some web searching, or check the "Strictly IC" > web site for a back issue with a pertinent article. Already did. I only found one site with instructions, but I think it's for a processor controlled electronic ignition circuit which puts more than 6V into the coil. I need a coil that will work with 6V. I think motorbike coils are too big? > -- > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > "Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" came out in April. > See details at http://www.wescottdesign.com/actfes/actfes.html > > > Anybody have hints or instructions on how to wind your own? > > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > I need a coil that will work with 6V.

There used to be books telling you how to do or make just about anything. I can't be sure that you'll find what you're looking for, but I won't be surprised if you do. > > > > Anybody have hints or instructions on how to wind your own? > > > > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > I can't be sure that you'll find what you're looking for, but I won't be > surprised if you do. I think there is a book about coil winding, I'm just being impatient..... While pondering on this I came up with a couple of thoughts...: See new thread "Thoughts on ignition timing". |
