Ian,

That's fine - since you're in Australia.  In the Northern Hemisphere
they wind both in the same direction.  It's all to do with Coriolis
forces.....

But seriously, no it doesn't matter at all.  It will affect the
'polarity' of the output, or phasing w.r.t. primary, but who cares.

Works fine either way.

Cheers,

Phil Chalk.

Hi Coilers,

Just small point on something I have only just noticed on my coil.
Wondering if it makes any difference.

My primary is wound clockwise, but my secondary is wound anticlockwise.
Would this make any difference ?  I am getting some good output -
although
lot's of tweaking left to do ;)

I hadn't even thought of this during construction let alone realised it.
If
I had, my intuition would have suggested I wind them both in the same
direction.  Something keeps popping into my brain concerning phasing.

Regards
Ian
