Thinking along those lines, would a fist size roll of 22ga hookup wire be
easier to unroll than 12ga?

I was thinking about actually showing people right before their very eyes
how just rolling up an energized ball of wire would have an affect on an
electrical circuit.

I run my TC transformer thru a 500ft coil of #12 so I understand what
you want. Do you have any smaller gage wire? You could make a small
coil around a bolt and move the bolt in and out. My inductor is
controlled by a handful of steel wire (elec fence wire) that is
wrapped and moveable thru the roll of 12ga.

Subject: [TCML] Induction demonstration
Hello,
I am putting my Tesla Coil in a makers fair next weekend. I would like
to make some simple demonstrations of induction and capacitance using
60hz AC power. For example taking a 100' ball of #12 THHN and powering
a light bulb and while bulb is still energized unroll the ball of wire
and show how the light bulb becomes brighter. I don't think it will
become brighter because I believe the ball of wire will only delay the
time it takes to light the bulb. It will not prevent the bulb from
burning at full capacity. However this is along the lines of what I am
thinking about. Does anyone have any suggestions that they would not mind
sharing?
Thanks,
Jim
