Calle,
Hello. Either terminal will work fine for a small coil. A
copper toilet boil float works fine depending on your secondary
diameter. You can make a toroid very easily from any kinda of
flexible tubing (like, dryer hose). All you need to do is connect the
ends to form a doughnut and put some type of center in it. Then rap
this in aluminum tape. Smooth this out and you got a perfectly good
toroid. Be carefull that you don't make it to big though. I have
heard it mentioned that you should make your toroid OD 2 or 3
times larger than your secondary OD. Hope this helps...
