Default seeking "airdux" coil

I cannot afford the real air/mini-dux.


This thread prompted me to look at B&W's Web site.

The price of the real Airdux is breathtaking.

A single piece of the 1610TL (10" long, 2" diameter, 10tpi, 16 gauge
wire) that the OP is looking for is $100.

Even the lesser-rated 3027 Miniductor is a hefty $40.

Getting set up to fabricate these coils may be a good garage business
for someone. I made some one time utilizing a metal dowel that already
had four groves spaced a 90 degress. I wrapped the wire around the
dowel and filled the grove with resin. This worked fairly decent. Im
sure that someone who already had some metal working tools could
fabricate similar setup or probably come up with something better to
set up an "as required" production line.
