RE: [TCML] Trouble with eBay wire

suggestion - wrap 100 turns of thread on your coil form.  then unwrap the thread and measure the length.  now count your actual turns, divide by 100 and multiply by the length of the thread
 
I doubt you got shorted, you should ALWAYS buy 10 to 20% more material than you think you need for just such exigencies.> Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:55:28 -0700> From: yurtle_t@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [TCML] Trouble with eBay wire> To: tesla@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: > > Did you actually measure your coilform? It may be larger than 4" in diameter. Just a slightly larger diameter times hundreds of turns will result in a lot more wire to get the desired length.> > Adam>_______________________________________________
