HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2021
- Automatic Tesla coil winding machine - powered by Arduino Nano. This is the first run. A secondary of 1300 turns of 0.2 mm wire on a 75 mm plastic pipe.
This is the start of a project to build "the Russian Slayer Exciter".

Sorry about the long delay in my response. I never thought this video would be so popular, thank you! I will now try to answer all comments.
This has the best wire setup I have see so far, most don't bother to straighten. I didn't recognize a single word on your machine, pretty unusual, Finnish?.
Thanks! Yes, I thought some kind of straightening is needed. I tested it with a used wire, too, and it worked just fine. Those V Groove Bearings also keep a good tension on the wire. Yes, it's Finnish. For a moment, I considered translating the code to English, but then I just put those subtitles in the video.
@@ponttokamera I would order 2 units from you. It is possible?
Looks great, well done.
As I need multi-layer coils with optimal offset for density, I'm looking to build something similar that can do half width offsets at the ends in a rectangular bobbin.
You are correct, he may not read or write English at all. But good work. May God bless him. Thanks
This could make a great baseline for a DnB track.
Haha, yes, why not. Let me hear it if you compose one!
His work is elegant. The machine is overly complicated.
He has either not read the comments or does not read/understand English or is not interested in the viewers. However watching his machine one should be able to do the same thing without all the extra parts. If you make a roller turn in a precise rotation without jitter and feed the wire like he did, Have a counter at one end to count the turns and feed the wire carefully, with a little practice it will turn out just like his coil. In fact you dont even need a precise count of the turns. for X# of Turns, wire OD x #Xturns = length of winding. So make the tube a couple of inches longer. Use pvc tubing. Drill a hole at each end and pass the wire thru to anchor it. When it is finished Varnish the winding with several layers of varnish.
I noticed the comments, understand English, but had some other projects going on. Thank you for the comments, I appreciate them all and did never expect this video to be so popular!
As said, this might be an unnecessarily complicated machine to manufacture parts to an unnecessary thing like a Tesla coil. The target was not to make a secondary coil but to make a fully automated winding machine. Just for fun! Because, why not?
This is how I coiled those before, so sure I know it can be done.

However, there are some benefits with this machine. Winding a very thin wire by hand is difficult. With the machine, it's easy. With the machine, you can also choose the gap between turns. It's not necessary to coil every turn right next to each other. For example, you could use a wire of 0.25mm and a pitch of 0.5mm to get the same result as with 0.5mm wire coiled side by side but with better isolation between turns. This is impossible to coil by hand.
Hello, how did you manage to know how much you could tighten the copper wire without it breaking?
Thank you
Your amazing!
Can you share the schematic? Or wiring for limit switch, push button etc.
ok, the way you made it - is good (the best i have seen so far) - i will clone parts of concept for my project... would be interesting how you mount that Tube into the machine (in a quick way?)
I need to wind myself a coil with 11,750 turns of 0.19mm wire in order to fix a 70's Italian flip clock. Any tips as to whether I should use a pro winding machine like this or can it be done with a makeshift cordless drill setup (i.e. guide the wire by hand)? With that many turns and such a fine wire, I'm concerned about snapping the wire halfway.
Very cool project!
How even does the dried resin end up being?
Are those small bearings tied to a dancer? How do you control the tension?
The resin ended up being quite good. Only one layer and better result than with many layers of varnish. It might be even better by mixing the resin better and by removing all air bubbles with a vacuum pump, which I don't have.
What do you mean by a "dancer"?
You can see the "tensioning system" here at 2:00 to the left, next to the go-pro. The wire comes between a couple of soft paper towels and a piece of wood on in. It mostly holds the wire so that it does not fall off the rollers.
Bu harika bir proje. Harcanan emek ve zaman bence fazlasıyla meyvesini vermiş. Başarılar.
Merhaba! Bu Türk dili mi? Google çeviri kullanarak cevap vermeye çalışacağım. Yorumun için teşekkür ederim! Kanalınızda büyüleyici Blender çalışmaları var gibi görünüyor. Bunları yapmayı öğrenmek istiyorum.
that's awesome but u coulda saved sooooooo much tech and time making a spring tensioned arm like a record player that gently presses against previous winding. On top of the simplicity, I feel like you're gonna get its the tightest this way. I feel like if your pitch is ever so slightly off, by the time you get to winding# 1200 it could start overlapping... My comments are not to criticize, on the contrary actually... this thing is brilliant, I actually ask cuz I'm making one now, and maybe you tried my idea to no avail? I am making mine on castors so coil diameter is easily changeable without coil needing center point. Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated!
In your wire feeder what type of Groove Bearing Pulley did you use? Are the STL files available for your wire guide?
Just some bearings I found on Amazon with the search terms "V Groove Bearing. There are no STL files available, as I did not use a 3D printer to make any part.
Impressive!
How you make the machine can upload the instructions..
Do you synchro step motion and rotary motion? Or you just set motion speed and rotary speed manualy ? Thank you for reply
Yes, it's synchronized. There is a Hall effect sensor next to the coiling motor gear. When a turn is detected, the stepper motor is driven according to the needed pitch. This makes it possible to freely change the coiling speed and the wire-feeding mechanism will follow.
You can see the Hall-sensor at 3:55 in the video.
any suggestions for a oval (not really oval but rectangle with rounded corners) shape coil ? I need to make custom coils for a magnetic bearing and looking for any advices/suggestions
Reply if you've found a good winder for this - have the same requirements.
bonjour et félicitation pour votre excellent travail
le rêve pour les amateurs de Tesla..
cordialement Raymond.
Круть! 👍
Do you have a winding machine for sale?
not nice job. Super job. I like it.
Wow! Thanks!
Olá...pode me fornecer o projeto desta máquina de enrolar as bobinas??
Please make Tutrial how to make this included code by video .. Thank you.
Tee opastus siitä, miten tämä koodi lisätään videolla .. Kiitos.
It would be nice to do a tutorial, but it would require doing another machine from the beginning and I don't have the time needed, sorry. Perhaps I could do some kind of explaining video? Perhaps, will consider that.
Code is here, but no guarantee: drive.google.com/file/d/1nYON5cL3BYwCgyAx0BTaJonn6qXp90U-/view?usp=sharing
where did you buy the magnet wire? i want to make sure i by enofe for a 6in pvc pipe 24in long. 22awg wire
As far as I remember, I bought it from a local store here in Finland: www.starelec.fi/product_info.php?cPath=79_1137_2397&products_id=10878
could you post the wiring diagram thanks
Perfect.
Thanx
Your welcome!
I guess you are not sharing the coil with winder?
Not sure what you mean?
Hi, can you share the schematics, firmware of the machine? Thank you!
Have you got arduino code ?
Code is here, but no guarantee: drive.google.com/file/d/1nYON5cL3BYwCgyAx0BTaJonn6qXp90U-/view?usp=sharing
Share your project
Show us how you built it.
Perhaps I could do some kind of explaining video? Perhaps, will consider that.
@@ponttokamera Yes please, a full hours long, complete details. I'm trying to build a tesla coil, but I will not build one without such perfect automation coiling system such as yours.
@@ShopperPlug Haha! This is how I made the coils before I went fully automated: ruclips.net/video/YVqLrBoD_G4/видео.html
But I will not promise when the tutorial will be done. Maybe someday.
Can you send drawing of digrama
Siisti masiina sulla siinä :-)
Kiitti. Onhan se hauska!
Hi, can you make one for me . Please. Thanks
Sorry, no time for that.
Tutorial make winding machine bro

CNC a mini lathe to do this
That will work just fine!
Im jelaous of this device cuz i always wind secondary by hand 😔
CODE PLEASE , THANKS,
Here, but no guarantee: drive.google.com/file/d/1nYON5cL3BYwCgyAx0BTaJonn6qXp90U-/view?usp=sharing
@@ponttokamera thanks sir,
Hmmmm.... lot of hardware to do a simple job. When I was 13, I wound a coil for a 500,000 volt Tesla coil by hand using #42 wire. That was 1965.
I agree. An unnecessary machine to produce parts to unnecessary electric equipment, Tesla Coils :). I still think this is a more useful Arduino project than some automatic easter-egg-painting machine out there.
Can you share the schematic? Can you give information about the machine? especially about arduino setup
