Meccano Orthocyclic Coil Winding Machine

Описание к видео Meccano Orthocyclic Coil Winding Machine

This Meccano coil winding machine has been designed and constructed by Gjalt van Slooten (1927-1992). Gjalt van Slooten lived in Drachtstercompagnie and was a well known member of the Meccano Guild Netherlands (MGN). The prototyping of the machine started in 1985 and took 2 years to finish.

Orthocyclic winding is a method for obtaining coils whose turns are stacked in the most compact fashion possible. Such coils have certain particularly good properties including good heat conduction, even distribution of electric field strenghts and the highest possible space factor.

The Meccano orthocyclic coil winding machine in the vision of Gjalt van Slooten is capable of making such coils. It's not perfect, partly due to a wrongly attached copperwire, but the result is quite impressive. The model has entirely been made with Meccano except for the motor, magnets and small analog electronics. These are all available online.
