<< Hi All,
 
 I'm going to ask perhaps a silly and obvious answered question, but when 
 winding your primary and secondary, are the windings in the same direction?
 
 ie, wind both sec and pri in a clock-wise direction?
 
 I should be able to derive this from 1st principles of electromagnetic 
 induction, but can't seem to picture it too well.
 
 The reason why I ask this is that in TC circuit diagrams, the coils (if I 
 am correct) are back-to-back w.r.t the primary and secondary coils. I 
 interperate this as being that the coils are wound in opposite directions 
 to each other.???
 
 Then again, this whole idea mightn't really matter...
 Anyway, my puzzling thought for the day...
 
 Ideas, flames, corrections welcome...
 
 Thanks guys!
 Catchya later!

Rod,

I wound the primary and secondary in the same direction on my 6" coil.
 Richard Quick later told me it makes no difference.  On my recent 3" coil, I
didn't even think about it.
