Rodin Coil Design By Bill Ramsay

Several years ago 1 learned of Marko Rodin's theoretical design for an unusual coil. I got a copy of his book "Aerodynamicsss - The Dandelion Puff Principle - Point Energy Creation Physics." (1) and wound a few coils based on his design. Only a few nondefinitive tests were run at the time. Recently I felt inspired to delve further into the potentials of this design and a number of simple coils were made and simple tests run. None of the coils so far match exactly the proportions Rodin feels are necessary for the most profound results but do show some interesting attributes and a few surprises suggesting more to come. Perhaps some of this will be of interest to others and find applications. Most of the coils wound here so far use as forms readily available plastic "rings" which are part of the "Fisher-Price" child's toy, rock- a- Stack. There are five different sized and colored forms in this set priced at about $4.00 at Wa1marts. The approximate dimensions of these are: (all in inches) A B 4.8 2.25 4.5 2.06 4.13 1.8 3.8 1.7 3.5 1.5 C 3.9 3.8 3.6 3.38 3.2 D 1.1 1.1 1.06 1.0 .94 One Rodin wrap 5.563 5.292 4.92 4.542 4.167 one Rodin turn 66.75 63.5 59 54.5 50 one conventional turn 3.896 3.802 3.604 3.375 3.198

In the Rodin design two equal coils are wound in the same direction of rotation with each wrap (12 wraps per turn) passing through the center to connect with its 150 seperated neighbors. This resliits in 12 wraps: semi-loops; with as many crossover wires for each of the two equal turns. These center crossover wires form a distinctive pattern Rodin calls "the magic circle." The two equal windings are shifted 10 from each other.

I have a good stock of #24 enamel wire so used this throughout. Each completed winding consists of a number of turns laid side-by-side around the outside each connecting segment crossing over the previous ones as it passes through the center. 'This is necessary to insure the outer turns progress in the same direction for each wrap-to the left or right of each proceeding wrap. The hollow plastic forms are not very rigid so wires should be snug but not too tight or they distort the form and loosen previous wraps. Some forms were split and stuffed with foam which helps some. Before winding each form was prepared by using a sharp knife to trim off the raised lettering and to rough up the slick finish. Templates with the l0 segments were used to mark the outside with a felt tipped pen. The segments thus formed were numbered as to winding order. I first wound the wire on a common round pencil using this as a shuttle to pass the wire through the center. The known per turn lengths were used to figure amount of wire needed. Even whit great care the finished windings are a bit loose so household glue and/or tape was used to tidy these up. A white fiberglass tape used is available from electric motor rewinding shops which are also a good source for the enamel wire. I paid $4.00 a pound about 800' per pound- for the # 24 wire. Tape and glue were used at the start and finish of each winding. Tests were run to see the 1st order attributes and how these compared with conventional winding methods. It seemed to me logical that a toroid wound solid with wire in the usual way ought to yield the highest L (inductance) since its field would be the more concentrated than a Rodin style where a good portion of the wire would be "wasted" going through the center. Not so as shown!

As expected, this rod had no effect on the conventionally wound ones. So, the center region in Rodin style coils is quite active! But why? To try to help answer this, a coil with 24 sepprate 10 turn conventional windings bunched at 10 intervals on a Yellow form was made. These seperate windings were first connected every other one together (12 sets x 2) then each set connected series-aiding. Done this way to get the same group groupings around the outside as in Rodin style windings. The L was 222UH Q.58). Next these windings were connected through the center Rodin style (150 intervals) using same lengths of wire as first configuration. The L increased to 270UH (Q.7) or +22! Addinq the ferrite had no descernible effect. So, it seems there is some "Magic" in the qeotnetric form alone of the Rodin design! I doubt this will surprise Marko who expects much more startling results with properly proportioned and-wound coils!

Bill Ramsay Rodin Coil Test Result Explanations

Graph Two - Expanded view of graph one of Rodin and standard toroidal coil for frequencies between one megahertz and ten megahertz. The Rodin coil is much more selective in its' responsiveness than a conventionally wound coil as shown in graph five. ________________________________________________________________

Graph Four - Expanded view of various Rodin configuration impedance's for frequencies between one megahertz and ten megahertz. There are several points where the individual windings whether connected to cooperate or oppose each other yield identical results indicating a dimension not present in conventionally wound and understood coils in the region between five million and six million hertz. They track each other just beautifully. There are two apparent distinctive fields oriented a precise ninety degrees from each other however it is uncertain whether or not there is a distinctive boundary between the expression of these fields or whether there is a linear rotation from one to the other which certainly would create a vortexial spin as predicted by Marko's mathematics. Conventional sensing and measuring techniques will not reflect such an action. It is therefore imperative that unconventional techniques be found to show whether or not these vortexial actions exist such as by using a plasma field of

glowing ionized gases so we can reveal the ninety degree shift vortex pattern and watch what happens. ________________________________________________________________

Graph Five - Graph of the total B-field for a line parallel to the toroidal plane, but 0.65" from the center of the toroid for the standard toroid. It is esthetically obvious that the Rodin coil in graph eight is coherently superior over the very jagged and discombobulated conventional coil in graph five.

Graph Eight - Plot of the total B-field versus distance along the toroidal axis for the Rodin coil. The Rodin coil in graph eight reflects a coherency of response not apparent in conventional toroids per graph five. See how smooth and cohesive it is. There is a symmetry that is non-existent in the rocky and rough standard coil. ________________________________________________________________
