I must be stupid; I can’t figure out how it is grabbing and letting go of the wire on each loop.

Video 3 is the good one. Very nicely done.

i don’t quite understand how someone can build an automatic toroidal winding machine but not be able to figure out how to hold a camera steady or have it be close to being in focus.

It may have been a good idea to embed one of the videos that actually show the device WORKING, and actually winding a coil, not the video that just shows it spooling some wire onto a drum.

heh… found this on that forum… “if you don’t think a one world government is being planned covertly, by powerful special interest groups i pray that you’ll open your eyes. the proof is everywhere.”

Have you seen the site his forum posts are on though? The site is regarding this ridiculous “invention”:

took me a few time watching it but after that I found it a very interesting project. would have found something like this of use when winding some big coils for a electromagnet. Nice work

Unwinding a little spool of wire like that isn’t a big deal… but doing it that way with a 2LB or 5LB spool of wire and you will stretch it out of spec or break the wire. Luckily most spools of wire are meant to be un-wound from the end… meaning you can set the large spool vertical and run the wire up to your device / tensioner.

I’d like this a lot better if the camera work didn’t make me sick to my stomach. As it is, I can’t ‘quite’ figure out how he’s doing this. Shaky footage of the machine in action is no substitute for a diagram and explanation of the process.

It looks like great work, though.

Is that a roll of tape their wrapping the wire around?

Nice project. I could have used something like this years ago when I was into high-power smps. The next trick will be to make it a bit smaller.

I don’t know why you think it’s retarded, mahder.
