Re: Heating in 4-1/2 turn inductorFrom: Jeff_Johnson@Hotmail.com (Jeff Johnson) I'm sure it was not a bad connection. And I think these is exactly why you are pursing it. You believe it must be due to some fanciful effect because of the "1/2" turn as if 0.5 was more special than 0.73524 or 1.0. You have the mindset to those people that think 3.141592... is special. This causes you to overlook the obvious. First, pi in another base is not 3.1415.... but in any case it must have been some number. In some alternate universe we could imagine it being 5.43524. In is only special in the sense that we make it special because it seems different than most other decimals. In fact though there are a ton of "special numbers". The theory of ideal inductors does not give any reason why a 1/2 turn should at all be important. Tim mentioned the promixity effect which would produce heating throughout the windings and more so for inner windings so it is not the correct effect here. Most other phenomena that stand any chance of creating the effect would do it symmetrical. Why? Because both ends have no special preference for the heat. This should be completely obvious. The only chance is if you wrapped the windings in such a strange and crazy way and a totally screwed up core as to make a retard jealous of your work. We think of other possibilities that would work in a non-symmetric way but they just don't seem to gel with physics. No one can say for sure since you obviously don't have any good investigative information to provide about it. Almost always things that seem phenomenal are due to simple mistakes. If you are really serious about it then I would suggest you attempt to reproduce the result then do a bit more investigation. Until then you might want to drop it because we don't need another cold fusion story circulating around. (I'm being facetious)
