RE: [TCML] Turn-to-Turn short circuit

Hi Mathew,

Since the coil is so nicely made, why kludge it at the end? Tape it in place
and use some quick set epoxy (Ace Hardware) to hold it together at the ends.
You could also coat the entire coil with epoxy or polyurethane for better
insulation value. The stand off voltage turn to turn would seem to be a
combination of the number of turns and the voltage rating of the insulation.
Common sense dictates that a crossover point focuses higher stresses on the
insulation at that point. What it does to the magnet field, I'll leave to
experts on that issue.
