Hi everybody,

I am new to the list ;-)

I did make a similar coil on the paper-tube of faxpaper with insulated
copperwire. I made about 8 or so crossings of the wire, glueing
the crossings with super-glue.

Did you connect the 2 wires on one end, or do you use this thing
like a transformer with 4 poles?

This is the interesting part. What did you Do?
Can you describe the weird effects?

I do not have any frequency generator here, so i need to build one.
Any suggestion about frequency-range or square, sine, step-waves?

Maybee i should try first to measure inductance? That wouldn't be
that hard with a 555 circuit i think, but if L is very low,
i might need high frequencies (so my scope would'nt be of use).

Any thougths welcome.

Ciao...
Andreas

btw. if my english is bad, please correct me so that i might learn something :)
