Maybe that depends on which hemisphere you live in 😛 Gotta wind 'em CCW south of the equator...
No, that's the water in your toilet bowl.

Northern hemisphere copper is influenced by the Coriolis effect , aye ? 😀

No , that's what's floating IN the toilet bowl.

It's all about the flow, some kinda quantum electron Coriolis effect, hehehe. Good adspeak though '...with output coils wound specifically for the region...'
For what its worth, I just use an AA or AAA battery as a coil form and use 14ga magnet wire (that was a mistake, I meant to get 16ga and the rolls were mixed up at the local junk monger's store). With 14ga I think I get 13 turns. For the ideal number of turns 16ga is good, though 14ga does fit the holes.

I bought a roll of Belden pre-kinked 14 gauge hard copper wire. I need to run it through rolls to get it straight enough to make a coil out of it. Miserable stuff. I think I'm going to make up a couple diameters of coil winders for it to go in the lathe.
Direction DOES matter for a 2 layer coil (like a trafo). In fact , you could make
a 2- layer , wind in opposite directions ... and cancel out EMF in the coils.
But , this is retentive for this application. 😛

I have a 10mm shaft that I chuck in my cordless drill. I poke one end of the coil wire in between the collet tines and just run the drill slowly while guiding the wire. I usually make a coil about 6-8" long and them cut what I need from that. I leave the remainder in a drawer for future use.

I use a "special" felt pen of the right diameter for that purpose 🙂
Sometimes I wind in a wrong direction, so that the coil doesn't fit my PCB, then I wind the other one in an opposite direction. Trial and error method 😛

Yes, I found I had to run the drill in reverse for Valery's board. I just figured it was a Russian thing. 😀I use a "special" felt pen of the right diameter for that purpose 🙂

Wrong side of the hemisphere?
So many effects besides Coriolis one here - I can't explain which one has higher influence in the end of the day
🙂

That sure makes the job painless!
Yeah , my fingers hurt ! But made my 6 (below).
Finally , I can apply the POWER 😱

PS- jar o' shine is for E-waste only ... or if fingers hurt too much
- or for cleaning mica insulators .... 😀).

I think I'm seeing a pattern here. You're from moonshine country. Valery's from Vodka country...

Ah, the ones for MT-200 on the left

Beautiful 🙂
What are you lacking for parts still? I think I forgot to send voltage regulators with that last shipment.
I have finally figured out everything with regards to the credit note (got a letter from them today). So I will place an order for snap-in caps in the nearest days.
