ABSTRACT
An improved method of winding inductors, transformers and motors has been discovered. This invention greatly enhances the ability to generate magnetic fields with a given amount of wire. This invention is as fundamental to the use of magnetic fields as was Nikola Tesla's use of rotating magnetic fields for the generation of alternating current.
The mirror image symmetry of winding coils is achieved by winding two strands of wire onto a coil form at the same time. This method results in two coils each occupying half of the form. The set of coils is then connected in parallel. When the coils are connected as described above, the net result is the ability to generate many times the magnetic field within and around the Solenoid.
This invention has a wide range of applications in transformer, motor, generator, and loudspeaker design. This paper will detail the results of tests performed with solenoids. Magnetic field strength has been measured and will be shown to be substantially increased using mirror image symmetry.
INTRODUCTION
Earl Koenig's Mirror Image Symmetry
U.S. Patent 4,806,834
An improved method of winding inductors, transformers and motors has been discovered by Earl Koenig of Averill Park N.Y. This invention greatly enhances the ability to generate magnetic fields within a given space and with a given amount of wire. This invention is as fundamental to the use of magnetic fields as was Nikola Tesla's use of rotating magnetic fields for the generation of alternating current. The mirror image symmetry of winding coils is achieved by winding two strands of wire onto a coil form at the same time.

BACKGROUND
In order to visualize this process, imagine a cylindrical coil form. As the form is turned, wire is wound simultaneously onto the form starting from each end. The wires are wound until they meet in the center of the coil form. Here the wires are connected to form one terminal of the circuit. The wires at the opposite ends of the form are connected to form the other terminal of the circuit. The result is a set of coils connected in parallel on a common form. More windings can be added, if rather than connecting the coils when they meet in the center, the wires are wound back over the form toward the ends where the respective windings originated. This results in two coils each occupying half of the form. When the coils are connected as described above, in parallel fashion, the net result is the ability to generate many times the magnetic field within and around the Solenoid.

Definitions:
Mirror Image
1. An object having a spatial arrangement that corresponds to that of another object except that the right to left sense on one object corresponds to the left to right sense on the other.
2. An image of an object, plan , person, etc as it would appear if viewed in a mirror, with right and left reversed.
Symmetry
1. Correspondence in size, shape and reletive position of parts on opposaite sides of a dividing line.
Mirror Image Symmetry:
1. A condition midway so divided so that equal portions simultaneously separate in opposite directions as viewed from the neutral location between each half section.

TEST RESULTS
We have tested this design using two identical Guardian 11 HD INT 12VDC solenoids. One solenoid was re wound using mirror image symmetry and the same wire that came on the solenoid. The performance of the solenoid using the mirror image symmetry is outstanding, far beyond the solenoid using conventional windings.
Resistance Inductance Current Gauss Force

Mirror Image Symmetry 2.0 1.08 2.45 121.2 340
Standard Winding 7.3 4.28 0.68 58.5 169
The results shown above indicate that four times more current can be used to generate a magnetic field with mirror image symmetry winding techniques.The measured value of magnetic field of the mirror image symmetry configuration, measured at the center of the ends of the solenoid, is double that of the standard winding. The force available with a plunger in the solenoid was also measured to be twice that of the standard configuration.
Another way of looking at the results is to consider the economic advantages of using mirror image symmetry. The data suggest that a device wound with mirror image symmetry can produce the same effects with a greatly reduced amount of wire in a smaller package or produce a device with twice the power in the same size package as currenty available.
