Welcome to the assembly instructions for constructing the copper coils used in our project. These coils are an essential component for generating magnetic fields in a controlled manner. The assembly process involves the use of a 3D-printed holder, copper wires, thermally conductive glue, epoxy, and silicone sealant. Follow the step-by-step guide below to prepare the coils successfully.
- 3D-printed coil holder (thermoplastic material)
- Copper wires (0.71 mm diameter)
- Thermally conductive glue (10 gr of GENNEL G109)
- Two-part epoxy (J-B Weld 8276)
- Silicone sealant (Aqueon)
- Coil enclosure made of Delrin or Aluminum
- Multi-axes magnetometer (F71 Multi-axis sensor)
-
3D-Printed Holder: The copper coils are wound around a 3D-printed holder made from thermoplastic material. Ensure that the holder is sturdy, lightweight, and corrosion-free.
-
Copper Wires (A): Wind 96 copper wires with a diameter of 0.71 mm around the 3D-printed holder. Secure the coils' surfaces using thermally conductive glue (GENNEL G109).
-
Electrical Connections (B): Place the wound coils inside the coil enclosure and establish the necessary electrical connections.
-
Sealing Electrical Connections: To seal the electrical connections, apply a two-part epoxy (J-B Weld 8276).
-
Water proofing (C): We used aquatitum glue before screwing the caps to the coil enclosure.
-
Waterproofing: Prevent water leakage by applying silicone sealant (Aqueon). Firmly fix the caps to the coil enclosure to ensure a watertight seal.
-
Magnetic Field Measurement (D): Use a multi-axes magnetometer (F71 Multi-axis sensor) to measure the produced magnetic fields when different currents are applied.
