BioCoil

Overview

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.

Materials Required

  1. 3D-printed coil holder (thermoplastic material)
  2. Copper wires (0.71 mm diameter)
  3. Thermally conductive glue (10 gr of GENNEL G109)
  4. Two-part epoxy (J-B Weld 8276)
  5. Silicone sealant (Aqueon)
  6. Coil enclosure made of Delrin or Aluminum
  7. Multi-axes magnetometer (F71 Multi-axis sensor)

Assembly Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. Electrical Connections (B): Place the wound coils inside the coil enclosure and establish the necessary electrical connections.

  4. Sealing Electrical Connections: To seal the electrical connections, apply a two-part epoxy (J-B Weld 8276).

  5. Water proofing (C): We used aquatitum glue before screwing the caps to the coil enclosure.

  6. Waterproofing: Prevent water leakage by applying silicone sealant (Aqueon). Firmly fix the caps to the coil enclosure to ensure a watertight seal.

  7. Magnetic Field Measurement (D): Use a multi-axes magnetometer (F71 Multi-axis sensor) to measure the produced magnetic fields when different currents are applied.
