Rodin Coil Frame
thingiverse
This is a Rodin coil frame I designed after attending a Marko Rodin seminar where I saw his demonstration on the winding pattern displayed on the board. The frame features numbered grooves in the toroid to help keep wires organized during wrapping. It consists of two channels with the following sequence: Channel A: 1,16,31,10,25,4,19,34,13,28,7,22,1... Channel B: 2,17,32,11,26,5,20,35,14,29,8,23,2... The coil functions well with 24 winds per channel. When creating the channels A and B are wound out of phase by 180 degrees so when finishing Channel A start Channel B on the opposite side around the core making an "X" shape. After powering it up with a function generator connect the output from Channel A to the input for Channel B and spherical magnets will levitate while spinning. Credit for this design goes entirely to Marko Rodin who wants others to show interest in his work. If you think this coil design might spark excitement please share it with your network. Currently experimenting on other designs to test, I'll be uploading them as interest grows.
