Great coils make great pulse motors.

Single vs bifilar vs trifilar

  • Single: simplest drive coil
  • Bifilar: two wires wound together (classic Bedini)
  • Trifilar: three paths — drive, trigger, pickup options

Technique

Tape wires together for multi-filar winds. Mark ends before you start. Keep tension even. Secure with tape or varnish.

Targets

Track DC resistance with a multimeter. Match wire gauge to goal: thick for current punch, thin for more turns and higher inductance.
