Tesla coil winding machine - powered by Arduino Nano 

Thanks! Yes, I thought some kind of straightening is needed. I tested it with a used wire, too, and it worked just fine. Those V Groove Bearings also keep a good tension on the wire. Yes, it's Finnish. For a moment, I considered translating the code to English, but then I just put those subtitles in the video.

@@ponttokamera I would order 2 units from you. It is possible?

Just some bearings I found on Amazon with the search terms "V Groove Bearing. There are no STL files available, as I did not use a 3D printer to make any part.

Yes, it's synchronized. There is a Hall effect sensor next to the coiling motor gear. When a turn is detected, the stepper motor is driven according to the needed pitch. This makes it possible to freely change the coiling speed and the wire-feeding mechanism will follow. You can see the Hall-sensor at 3:55 in the video.

Not sure what you mean?

The resin ended up being quite good. Only one layer and better result than with many layers of varnish. It might be even better by mixing the resin better and by removing all air bubbles with a vacuum pump, which I don't have. What do you mean by a "dancer"? You can see the "tensioning system" here at 2:00 to the left, next to the go-pro. The wire comes between a couple of soft paper towels and a piece of wood on in. It mostly holds the wire so that it does not fall off the rollers.

Reply if you've found a good winder for this - have the same requirements.

Perhaps I could do some kind of explaining video? Perhaps, will consider that.

@@ponttokamera Yes please, a full hours long, complete details. I'm trying to build a tesla coil, but I will not build one without such perfect automation coiling system such as yours.

@@ShopperPlug Haha! This is how I made the coils before I went fully automated: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YVqLrBoD_G4.html But I will not promise when the tutorial will be done. Maybe someday.

It would be nice to do a tutorial, but it would require doing another machine from the beginning and I don't have the time needed, sorry. Perhaps I could do some kind of explaining video? Perhaps, will consider that. Code is here, but no guarantee: drive.google.com/file/d/1nYON5cL3BYwCgyAx0BTaJonn6qXp90U-/view?usp=sharing

I noticed the comments, understand English, but had some other projects going on. Thank you for the comments, I appreciate them all and did never expect this video to be so popular! As said, this might be an unnecessarily complicated machine to manufacture parts to an unnecessary thing like a Tesla coil. The target was not to make a secondary coil but to make a fully automated winding machine. Just for fun! Because, why not? This is how I coiled those before, so sure I know it can be done. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YVqLrBoD_G4.html However, there are some benefits with this machine. Winding a very thin wire by hand is difficult. With the machine, it's easy. With the machine, you can also choose the gap between turns. It's not necessary to coil every turn right next to each other. For example, you could use a wire of 0.25mm and a pitch of 0.5mm to get the same result as with 0.5mm wire coiled side by side but with better isolation between turns. This is impossible to coil by hand.

As far as I remember, I bought it from a local store here in Finland: www.starelec.fi/product_info.php?cPath=79_1137_2397&products_id=10878

Sorry, no time for that.

Wow! Thanks!

Your welcome!

That will work just fine!

Kiitti. Onhan se hauska!

Haha, yes, why not. Let me hear it if you compose one!

Merhaba! Bu Türk dili mi? Google çeviri kullanarak cevap vermeye çalışacağım. Yorumun için teşekkür ederim! Kanalınızda büyüleyici Blender çalışmaları var gibi görünüyor. Bunları yapmayı öğrenmek istiyorum.

@@ponttokamera thanks sir,
