3- ten turn coils in parallel is not the same as 1- thirty turn coil.
If that is your question.
But if your just trying to substitute stranded wire for solid wire of the
same gage, then thirty turns is thirty turns.
I think you have an insulation problem though.

Multi strand wire does not have any insulation between the strands and you
would only have one turn for one turn.
When winding motors, a sample wire is usually inserted and formed into the
lamination space. The sample turn is taken out and measured onto a winding
form, for size. Wind the winding with as many turns as needed and then tape
the turns together loosely but enough to keep it neat, usually ate the ends
out of the laminations. Insulate the steel with hytex or fishpaper,
insulting materials to protect the wire insulation for the sharp corners and
then thread the winding you have made into the lamination slots. Bend the
ends over to take up the least space and make sure the windings are
protected and taped into place. Dive wooden or synthetic wedges into the
lamination ends to stop vibrations.
When all winding are in place put the whole thing in a oven and heat for a
few hours, dip in insulating varnish or high temp paint and bake some more
to harden and hold everything in place. Clean laminations and wire ends and
connect series and parallel desired windings.
Use high temperature coated wire, formel or hmmm.... forget the other high
temp names of insulation materials for wire enamels.

I'm not sure where your headed, but some of the permenant magnet motors
are hitting over 90% efficiency. If you give up a little for bearing
friction and
a little more for wire heating there is not much room left for improvement.
I don't recall seeing efficiency numbers for generators/alternators but I
suspect
they are very high also, especially when you can optimise at the desired
rpm.

PS. 1hp = 746 watts voltage x amperage = watts I question how mant amps
you will get through thousands of turns of #36 or #40 wire.
(I did build an electrostatic motor once, kinda cool, ran on 10,000 volts.)
I gave it to a local Junior Museum and they discarded it, if I would have

No harm in playing with ideas, you did however hit a hot button.
You can go much further if you have a small metal lathe and milling
machine, even a Sherline, and an oscilloscope and some lab power
supplies. Don't trust digital voltmeters unless they measure RMS. To
measure electrical energy accurately you need a current probe for the
scope, AC will do initially but DC is much better and necessary for
conclusive data.

Thanks for noting that. A coil of multistrand uninsulated wire would
be essentially a single turn, certainly not very functional.
http://www.mwswire.com/mfilar.htm
There isn't much benefit and considerable practical difficulty with
winding more than one strand at a time. A single wire can be packed
tightly enough to resist the magnetic force between adjacent wires,
but a looser winding may vibrate like a cheap fluorescent light
ballast.
If you can't set up a winding jig how to do you expect to build a
balanced, low friction motor?
jsw
Apart from a winding jig (important I agree) you need a "paying on
device" to ensure the wire is laid on parallel and close. Especially
if contemplating lots of turns. This really hard to construct.
In days of yore, motors had salient poles, which were relatively easy
to wind the coils for. However, it leads to inefficient distribution
of the magnetic flux. The coils for a distributed winding are a much
harder job.
The days of making revolutionary discoveries in your garden shed have
long passed. These days it takes $M & a team of scientists to make
even a small advance. Maybe you shoould contemplate knitting or kite
flying.
Also, these discoveries are made by standing on the shoulders of one's
predecessors in the field. ie, before you start out, you need to
know everything there is to be known on the subject. You won't find
that here though there is considerable joint knowledge and experience.
You need to start out from one of the leading colleges or
universities.
You CAN of course just bugger about for your own fun. Lots of us here
do just that.
Sometimes when rewinding an old motor, we would find that more than one
'strand' was used in making the original coil. For example, they may
have taken two #14 and one #16 AWG wire together and wound the coil with
all three at the same time. Naturally, we would have to duplicate this
with the new coils we wound for replacing them.
We mounted spools of the appropriate 'magnet wire' (enamel insulated
wire) together and fed all three into the coil block and then wound the
correct number of turns.
This gives you more current capability, without having to use the much
stiffer lower-gauge wire. Of course with the random wound coils, it
took up more room. Nevertheless, we did run across it from time to time.
We called such windings 'two in hand' or 'three in hand' as the case may be.
As long as the individual strands are insulated so that you don't end up
with 'shorted turns', I don't see why you can't do that. Of course
there's a limit to how much wire you can cram into the slot and how many
turns you can get...

Advanced degree candidates have to do original research. They hunt

Ahh! the page didn't copy and paste well, but you can probably figure it

I can't see where four or two strands would save any work though. Too manny
splices would be a lot of work inside a motor bell. I can see a complex iron
warpping scheme may work quite well with this cable. Thermal conduction may
be a boon.

In transformers this can be done with interlayer insulation paper or
materials. In free form coil winding the outer layer has many layers of
turns between the inner layer at the other end of the voltage supply. It
isn't always perfect but the inter-turn insulation has to be good enough to
insulate against voltage punchthough at the highest voltage difference used.

No. That is not the case. There are two splices, each of six parallel
wires, one splice at each end of the bundle. The inner and outer layers
would not be connected to each other. They would be feeding either
another coil or the output/input lines.

No. The varnish, glyptal, conformal etc. has only to be of sufficient
dielectric strength to resist the potential difference of the adjacent
wire. Look at a Tesla coil.
If the coating on the wire is good for 120 volts to ground, it is good
for 240 volts between two strands. Even the voltage between two layers
would be the line to line voltage divided by the number of layers. That
is far less than the 'highest voltage'.
In something low voltage, like a home made windmill, the relative
potential differences are so low as to be negligible.

You appear to understand the question. Thank you for
your response.
Multiple windings are needed for the flux density, but
this is high voltage, low current, allowing minimal wire
size, but the risk is with punchthrough. I'm considering
varnish and fishpaper. But i need to know that the multiple
windings combined at the beginning and end will yield
the effect of the total number of windings placed, without
being diminished by the shunting at the ends.
I would assemble the motor shaft and bearings and use it as the coil
winder. #36 wire isn't that bad, try a headband magnifier and enough
drag on the coil and the spool it feeds from that you can let go of
the wire. You can practice with fishline to avoid kinking the wire.
There's a good reason why clever experimenters have done the job the
same way for the last 100 years.
Then again not everyone has the patience and skill to be a lab tech,
many good engineers included. Job security for me.
If you wind the wires in parallel and then connect them in series
Josepi got it right, the outer end of each wire has to connect to the
inner start of the next, so the current flows in the same direction
through all of them.
If each individual winding has say 100V across it then the voltages at
the inner ends of your 6 wires will be 0V, 100V, 200V, 300V, 400V, and
500V. The 0V wire will be beside the 500V wire on the next turn 012345|
012345|012345 or at least cross it in the next layer.

I haven't given this much thought, so please take these 'insights' with
a grain of salt.
In common usage, I've only seen a need for paralleled windings in low
voltage permanent magnet powered windmill alternators and dual voltage
motors, where they series/parallel them to suit low/high line voltage.
There is relatively little power produced in a windmill, so any waste
from resistance is to be avoided. The paralleled wires reduce the
voltage drop by a ratio equal to the number of paralleled conductors.
It's actually the square of the current reduction in percent.
Here is the problem. When you double up on a wire, you will be halving
the length. Your amperage capacity will double, but the generated
voltage measured at the ends of the winding will be halved. Put another
way, only half the generated current is being carried in each of a
paralleled pair. the I^2 losses are now 1/4 of what they were. Same
rules for a motor.
Each wrap of wire in a coil adds to the voltage being produced. Think of
the instantaneous voltages at one point of the winding 'leg' as series
batteries. 100 wraps = 100 tiny batteries in series.
If you parallel the windings, you now have two runs of half length. The
physical space won't let you put more copper into the form regardless
of how you parallel them.
Now, you have the equivalent of two sets of 50 tiny batteries in series
being paralleled with each other. The voltage is halved, but there is
now more copper carrying whatever current there is.
A motor behaves in the same manner.
Is there some way of wiring this thing in a three phase 'Wye' or 'Star'
pattern? That alone will reduce the voltage across each phase winding by
a factor of root 3, (1.7 something). That's almost the same as doubling
the insulation value of the coating.
Another thing to keep in mind is the 'ampere turns' value. That
determines how much magnetism will be produced. The amount of extra
current you can push through parallel wires will probably be offset by
the reduced length. A good motor design is probably pushing way over
eighty percent efficiency. A good transformer is probably running 95+
efficiency. That is more from good magnetic design, not winding magic.
Another thought: Is it possible to spray Glyptal of Conformal on the top
of each winding layer as the coils are being wound?
A thing with higher voltage transformers also comes to mind. The
input/output connections on the tanks (X1, H1 etc) are placed so that
the LEAST amount of potential difference is created between them.
Out of curiosity, what voltages would you be looking at? Really high
voltages have the benefit of reducing line current at a given power
transfer rate. That reduces I^2 R looses on transmission lines.
I don't know what benefits you are looking for in a very high voltage
motor. They may not be enough to offset the problems.
As for the terminations of these parallel windings, I'd *guess* a wire
with an ampacity of around twenty percent more than the sum of the
individual wires would be more than good.
Please provide a bit more information regarding horsepower, voltage and
amperage ratings. My curiosity is piqued. If this is a 'secret' project
I will understand.
The Ed Grey motor:
http://keelynet.com/evgray/evgray.htm
Notice the 3500V capacitors and spark plug wire leads.
In addition to ampere turns you can consider turns per volt to
estimate the size and practicality of a design. More explanation here:

He gives 10, I've seen 1 in an arc welder.
jsw
The Ed Gray motor had multiple coils in rotor and stator,
and used high voltage, low current. And the electromagnetic
flux density apparently got very high very quickly, with a
capacitive discharge format.
Now the problem I see with the design is that the best push
is lost, because when stator coil is lined up with rotor coil,
the repulsion is the product of one against the other, or timed
so that they have missed each other. The Ed Gray motor had
its coil laminations machined so that there was a 16 degree
angle to help with the push getting good direction.
I think the kick of one such coil working against another is
a good notion, but I would rather see more direct push for
the jolt. So I am seeking to wind a couple of coils onto
transformer bodies, after taking them apart, stripping them
of their windings, winding a new coil on a form and slipping
it back on to the transformer body after varnishing each
lamination to return it to being able to reduce eddy currents.
How to use the mutual repulsion kick? Something like a
paddlewheel, or with more than two electromagnets, more
like the individual cylinders firing in an ICE. If it can be
quick enough, a momentary contact would be enough for
the "rotor" coil to kick before it disconnects. And the
transformer body, formed in epoxy, could move like the
piston in an ICE, turning a crank.
Plenty of issues, like source, and bearings, and guides,
and a bunch more, but the first thing is to see what kind
of real world power is available. Starting small, with a
small transformer, avoiding the temptation of going with
something big like a microwave transformer body.
And the juice should be easy to come by with a voltage
multiplier, with 1N4007's only costing about 10 cents
each in quantity. But right now I have a microwave
transformer, and the diodes they use in the ovens
arranged as a full wave bridge.
There are plans for the Gray "Fuelless Motor", with
a commentary about the Gray claim about it not
depleting the batteries, but the design includes a
generator. All I'm wanting is to see if the Gray
Motor could be used as an electric vehicle motor,
with speed control being simple input voltage
control, and see if there are advantages for homebuilt
motors.

Your experiment is probably the best way to find things out. Even if it

Please post the results, either way.

Just be sure to make at least one side of your jig movable
(removable) or you will never get it off the jig.
Depending on your jig, it's nice to lay several strips of tape, adhesive
side up on the jig, so when your finished winding you can wrap the
wires to stablize them before removing from jig. (string also works).
Mike
You can wind a bobbinless, free-standing coil by hand by zig-zaging
the wire from side to side, each turn pressed against and held at the
ends by the previous one.
http://www.lakefish.net/images/product_photos/rope_11.jpg
It isn't as hard as it looks at first and you can hold it together
with tape flaps that you lift as you go around. Some of the filter
coils in old radios were wound this way, often several windings spaced
along a core tube. Double stick tape will hold the first turn in
place. At each end you jump the wire over the previous one so the new
wire is always on the same side.
It isn't the fastest way, but it requires nothing but fingers, the
wire and a core, such as cardboard wrapped around a dowel, that you
can pull out afterwards.

That is indeed tantalizing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I haven't a clue about your form, but I don't know how
you put it in a motor after it's varnished.
Mike
Actually no, these were three-phase low-voltage motors (<600V). The two
or three conductors were normal 'magnet wire' (single strand, insulated
with varnish). The conductors would be joined together at the end
before connecting to other coils when making up the end connections. So
'externally' it just looked like an X turn coil with a cross-section
equal to the sum of the individual conductors.

He seems to be asking about what I mentioned previously, taking a couple
of individual, single-strand magnet wires and combining them at the time
of winding to create a multiple-conductor cable/wire to wind the coils with.

I don't know why they think a multi-strand wire would be 'less fragile',
that part doesn't make sense.
But as I said before, we did use two or three parallel strands of 'wire'
to make coils of higher current capacity using smaller individual strands.

When you are winding coils, you most certainly can brush or spray the
Glyptal on each layer before starting the next one. Take it slow and you
won't even get your fingers covered like I did.
Secondarily, I am not aware of ANY varnish type coatings that help to
carry heat away from the wire. Every coating I am aware of acts as an
insulation to some degree. Some web sites talk of 'special resins' with
certain fillers which help in heat conductivity. I don't know anything
about them.
Centrifugal force may be a bigger danger than vibration. Now, having
said that, there MAY be a particular RPM where a resonance is set up in
the coils. Thee should be a way of testing for that before any sort of
mass production takes place.

Huh?
Here's the quote:
"They're only poor Yanks. They spell lots of word wrongly in America."
The preposition is "in" and it introduces the noun "America".
Then, the prepositional phrase 'in America' acts as an adverb,
describing where the words were wrongly spelled.
My quarrel was with the plural adjective "lots" being used to modify the
singular noun "word", which has nothing to do with the preposition or
the prepositional phrase.

Sure you do; when you top post and someone starts reading the thread
chronologically, the shit is right at the top followed by the corn.
Apparently, being an eminently stupid and inconsiderate Google Grouper,
you don't even realize that this is USENET and that you've accessed it
through Google's web-based interface.
In addition, you've obviously not even taken the time to read Google's
posting guidelines, which are sound.
From:
http://groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12348&topic=250
"Summarize what you're following up.
When you click "Reply" under "show options" to follow up an existing
article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with the
cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just start
typing your message, please STOP and do two things first.
Look at the quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant.
Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there.
Doing this makes it much easier for your readers to get through your
post. They'll have a reminder of the relevant text before your
comment, but won't have to re-read the entire article.
And if your reply appears on a site before the original article does,
they'll get the gist of what you're talking about."

There's some Usenet law to the effect that posts which complain about

Ah, I see you _do_ consider some types of posts as being objectionable,
so you _should_ be capable of recognizing that many consider top posting
in USENET to be not only objectionable, but extremely bad form.
Why?

Since a few of the reasons for bottom posting and trimming were given,
and "please" was used to ask you, politely, to follow the conventions
that most of us have found helpful in eliminating confusion and saving
time, your recalcitrance at posting, using those conventions, is
telling.
Specifically, since you obviously have no intention of being
accommodating and making life a little easier for all of us, you brand
yourself as being a narcissistic little creep who wants Rome to do as he
does.

Look at the mess you have made of this thread with bottom posting.

This thread is prime example of this.

The zig-zag is not recommended for enamel insulated wire as it puts a lot of
mechanical stress on wire insulation crossing each other, the resultant is
bulky, not as flexible and cannot be formed into the laminations after
winding.

It isn't as hard as it looks at first and you can hold it together
with tape flaps that you lift as you go around. Some of the filter
coils in old radios were wound this way, often several windings spaced
along a core tube. Double stick tape will hold the first turn in
place. At each end you jump the wire over the previous one so the new
wire is always on the same side.
I'd wind the coil on a 2-piece removeable hardwood bobbin on the South
Bend metal lathe in back gear, but that didn't seem like a realistic
suggestion to the OP.

I used a piece of cardboard rolled into a tube, which could be
squeezed smaller to remove the finished coil.
You can make a close-wound flat spiral of wire completely freehand by
holding it between your finger and thumb at the point where the wire
enters the spiral and working around a little at a time. I learned
that from a sidewalk jewelry maker in Heidelberg. It goes better if
you pull the tinned solid copper wire hard enough to permanently
stretch it a little. This removes the kinks and leaves it very
straight and somewhat work-hardened.

Certainly not I, since with the earliest post at the top and the most
recent at the bottom, the chronological order of responses is
maintained and anyone joining the thread at any time merely has to read
from the top down (as we do when we're reading a book, a magazine
article, a newspaper, etc.) to follow the thread.
Your idiotic predilection for top posting assumes that what you have to
say is important enough that everyone should read it first and then go
thrashing about, scampering through the thread in order to determine
what you were talking about.
So far I haven't seen any evidence justifying your position.

>The bottom post argument is the favourite troll of the bored and stupid.

On the contrary, clearly over 99% of us bottom post (and inline post
when it's appropriate) because it makes sense, while I think the
remaining 1% top post in order to get attention or just because you're
troublemakers with a "You can't tell me what to do" attitude.

If that were true, then you should follow your own advice and stop

Just look at a thread where epople haven't trimmed and the big inserted
lexical levels are hard to pick out and the outside lexical levels are
useless as nobody can count that many right carets to figure out who said
it. The result? People read the previous posts to know who said what,
confusion results in fights from people disagreeing with the wrong people
and just general mass confusion of information, especially with the browsers
meant to download binary files, mainly.
Look at this beautiful format. This is the way every browser I have seen so
far is designed to work. It is always a favourite troll post of the lazy
trolls when losing an argument. "Your format is wrong" makes a good
distraction from the real issue.

Actually, by reading this thread with a 'news-reader' such as what I'm
using, John's posts and headers make nice, chronological sense. Each
one seems to be in direct reply to the message it is linked to.
Perhaps if you weren't using a bwoser [sic] it would look better for
you. By using a web-based news reader, you're at the mercy of how that
web server reads the headers and such. Most likely it is your web-based
news service that has mad a mess of things.

While the original topic was coil winding, this part of the thread has
gone off-topic and diverged to the point where what's being discussed is
the efficacy of bottom and in-line posting VS top posting.
Consequently, since my comments address top, in-line, and bottom posting
they are relevant.

Isn't comfort and lack of confusion in communications what we should all
strive for?
I've relocated your post so that it follows my earlier one in order that
you might see how much more natural the flow is, chronologically, using
bottom posting.
Just think (if you can) how much easier someone coming across this post
for the first time would find it to understand, reading it from the top
down instead of having to jump about trying to stitch together seemingly
unrelated pieces of quiltwork.

Browsers aren't designed to top post, but simpletons who can't be
bothered (or don't know how) to locate the cursor properly before they
start typing use that as an excuse to justify top posting, a format that
was adopted as the default for email, where it works since the
(generally) two people involved in the exchange know what went before.
In USENET that's not true, and a reader coming across a thread for the
first time wouldn't know what went before and would then, logically, go
to the top of the post and start reading from there in order to traverse
the correct chronological sequence of posts _if_ the earlier posts were
located at the top of the stack.
Just like picking up a book you had never read before, would you expect
chapter 10 to be at the beginning and chapter 1 at the end?
