120 Point Vortex Coil

120 Point Vortex Coil

Rodin coils are typically built using 36 points around the toroidal core.

In this experiment I increased the number of guide points to 120 in order to increase the density of mod-9 positions across the surface of the toroid.

Increasing the number of points increases the resolution of the winding pattern. The trade-off is that the coil must also become physically larger in order to accommodate the additional guide pins.

In this study I explored three winding sequences:

3MOD9 winding
6MOD9 winding
9MOD9 winding

The winding tables and wiring maps for each configuration are shown below.

Toroidal form prepared for winding

Toroidal air core prepared with 120 guide points.

This configuration allows a greater number of winding paths to be explored across the toroidal surface. Increasing the number of points provides a higher resolution mapping of the winding sequences.
