Construction of Cyclotron

The cyclotron magnet components

Here is a photo of the magnet wire and the core that will be used to make an extremelly compact electromagnet for the cyclotron.

Electromagnetic coil construction
Ahh this is my first attempt at winding a one of the electromagnetic coils for the cyclotron. I am using 14AWG high temp magnet wire for this coil. The construction of the coil is very messy and time consuming. I made it by figuring out the best geometry for the coil considering the ammount of available room on the core. Then I built a coil form and began wrapping wire, taping, and varnishing it.

The Finished Coils
Here is a photo of the finished electromagnetic coils. As you can see I installed water cooling lines that are made out of 1/4 in copper tubing. I did this because the magnetic coils are made from 14AWG wire which will get extremelly hot from the 40amps/40vDC that will be running through it. Keep in mind it's using 1500 watts of DC power.
