Synopsis

Induction coils: a practical, hand‑on guide to building and using powerful spark coils

This updated edition explains how a medical and sparking coil works and how to make coils that deliver impressive spark lengths. It combines clear theory with practical instructions, making it a useful reference for amateurs, students, and hobbyists alike. The book includes detailed windings tables that cover coils from small to large sparks, and it is revised and enlarged by Kurt Stoye to reflect up‑to‑date American practices.

The handbook starts with practical how‑tos for constructing induction coils, then shows how to tailor a coil for different purposes. It emphasizes safe handling and provides guidance for experimenting with X‑ray and wireless work, among other applications, using coils you can build yourself.

  • Step‑by‑step guidance for winding primary and secondary coils and choosing materials
  • Instructions for making powerful sparking coils of various sizes
  • Tables and gauges to plan windings for i-inch to 12-inch sparks
  • Practical experiments and demonstrations to explore electrical phenomena safely

Ideal for readers who want a hands‑on introduction to induction coils, sparking coils, and related experiments.
