Original poster: "earl rhodes" <earl_1975@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hi allthank you for your replys i was under the impression that gold was of a lower resistance (the tags on computer equiment) but obviosly thats not the case! though i still would like to use pure gold wire one word says it all ""bling " very nice !though thinner wire would be the choice around .2 mm thttp://www.youtube.com/user/teslaspigeonhe reason being power consumtion and cost i plan to attend uk tesla oriented events and obviosly something different may be required to turn heads ! im the artistic type always have been ,im not bothered about a couple of ohms ! hell i dont have a meter of any type !the wire links will come in very handy i might just do a gold plated one ! first ! and try to get somebody else to pay for the pure gold one ( im not that stupid)or go halfers with someone! whatever !! at least i can think about something else now thanks very much !

Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Earl,MWS Industries manufactures gold plated copper magnet wire. They also make many other specialty wire.http://www.mwswire.com/Obviously it will be more expensive. You won't gain performance, but the coil will perform as if it were wound with standard copper magnet wire. It would however give a very cool look to the secondary.Take care, Barthello earl here this is a most serious question i have looked for materials and it wouldnt really cost that much !considering! and is something i may do !what would be the result of winding a gold secondary would there be any benefit ! has this been done ! if so could you please point me to the info thanx ps. dont laugh !too hard!
