The Construction of the Cyclotron's Electromagnet

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

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.

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.
