Original poster: "D.C. Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>I will email the chicken wire toroid off-list. We actually use turkey cage wire as it is a finer mesh and not as stiff to work with.

Hi John,Et Al I too am building a 12" coil. Do you think it would be pushing the ratio to go 72" 6:1. 18AGW magnet wire. I was planning on going to .5" primary to get more diameter but I'm not sure what this does to the comparative inductance. Is it true that a torrid is best designed at a 3:1 ratio thus 60" would seek a 20" minor diameter? DC if you are reading this please share how you make your chicken wire torrids! Regards, Jim Mora
