The Secondary Coil

The secondary coil and the topload makes up the secondary circuit. This part is the easiest to do but defiantly the longest, most tedious and the most boring to do. All you have to do is coil your magnet wire round your tube. If you are using the same ratings as mine you need to wrap hair thin wire around a half meter long 10cm radius tube. Takes a VERY long time!

 The easiest way to do it is put a pipe through your tube and put each end of the pipe on a chair. Then use one hand to turn the tube and the other to guide the wire. 

Once done, sand about 3cm around each end of the wire and just leave the ends to hang. Then paint the whole thing in 2-3 coatings of clear varnish or clear coat.

Finished, varnished, secondary!
