Need another size? Contact me with what you want; I'll make some, see how long it takes me, and let you know the price. No obligation, as long as they are of a type I can use or provide to someone else.

Aikido Coils aka Loohan coils: to the right is one made of 6g single-strand copper. It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to make one of these coils neatly out of doubled-twisted wire. Unless maybe I anneal the twisted cable before coiling, but that's a project for another day.  53.3" 6awg, about 4"x4" - - - $10
At this time, to connect the ends, I am taping them with aluminum tape, then putting a strip of silver-coated copper tape over the connection, then wrapping that with copper tape.


Heavier Aikido Coil, 53.3" 4awg, about 4"x4" - - - $15
To the left is a more compact version, same amount of wire.


TB coils made from insulated 10 gauge house wire 17" long. These are more economical as they are much easier to make. But the wire is quite stout and they are pretty good.
By default I make them with a counterclockwise wind to direct more energy toward the base. Please let me know if you prefer a CW wind.
Depicted are ones designed to fit a standard muffin mold. I also make them to fit a 3oz. paper cup.
Please specify which type. - - - $1
