I am in need of rewinding a MOT to the lowest possible voltage - basically 1 - 1.3 turns - with as thick a cable/conductor as possible. The problem is that most wires of large size also have a lot of insulation taking up a lot of room and running at maybe 1.4-2.2vac, I don't think significant insulation is needed - so maybe wrapping bare wire with electrical tape, overlapping by 50%, so 2 layers are formed.
It may be difficult to get proper wire sizing but I just thought about using aluiminium foil either rolled or folded in the the proper thickness/size needed to fit through the opening.
Finding out how much a one ft length weights, a similar sized piece of wire could be found to see what gauge this corresponds to.
Is there any reason to think that Al foil would not be adequate for this - and I'm not talking about challenges of rolling it to proper size, or knowing what gauge it is - but for the use of the material for this.
