Hi All
?
What a great idea ...? wish I
had thought of it my self -- a bit more control than using an electric
drill? !!

Hi
Twisting the wires together for winding
trifilar inductors is made easier with a simple tool built for that
purpose.? A picture of my "Trifilar Twister Tool" is attached to this
email.? A copy of the picture is also available at
BITX20/FILES/K7HKL/Trifilar Twister Tool.gif.
I made this using a 1 inch
long section of plastic tube (3/8 In. OD by 3/16 in. ID) and a stiff section of
wire.? You can build this using material at hand.
Operation involves
securing the far end of your wire so that it will not twist.? Then connect
the near end of your wire to the twister tool.? By holding the bushing and
turning the crank handle you can control the tension, count the turns ( turns /
length = turns per unit length ), and make a very clean looking double, triple,
or quadruple wire for winding on toroid forms.
