@Slowhound...90 minutes, not 90 miles.

Yes, there are some really thin neo magnets in the middle. They are an inch long, .25 inch wide, and 1/16 inch thick. I have four of them, 2 are end to end, with 2 more stacked on top.

I don't know how many turns I put on it, but it is probably in the vicinity of 1 to 2 thousand, tops. If I continue to do this, I will have to invest in some equipment, including one of those calculator hacked counters.

I reckon there's some little neodymium magnets in the middle!

Cool! An area barely explored in guitar technology. Keep us up dated.

I found a value of 2.18ohms per metre for 42swg copper.
So 1800ohms would be 825m.
Assuming it is approx 0.1m (very rough guess) circumference then that would be 8250 turns... Really? Does that sound right?

Cheers,
Steve
