I EIECTROMAGNEII Specification of Letters Patent} Application filed January 25, 1909; Serial,.No. 41am.

To allwhom-it mayconcerm Be it known, that I ALBERT E. SINK, a.citi- -'z en-of.;theiUnited States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of-- Kings-, city. 5 and State of NewYork, haveinvented certain-newand useful; Improvements in .Elecs. tromagnets, of which-theifollowingis a speci-. fication. 7

My invention relates to .electromagnets 10 whether of the usual kind having cors,,or. of, the coreless type (solenoid). Byapeculiar winding ofthecoils, as described and claimed hereinafter, I avoid self-induction andthe-x s arking which resultstherefromwhenthe circuit isbroken.

So far the construction need not differ from theusual construction of s ark coils.

peculiar winding and its connections, which a 1n the resent embodiment are illustrated as applie to the primary winding'of the coil.

1 According to my invention, I employ a plurality of strands or windings intertwined orl twisted together. In the particular example shown, the primary coil consists of three separately insulatedstrands or windings F,

magnetic or induction effect is desired and G, H, twisted together longitudinally "as '50 shown in Fig. land more clearly in Figs. '5

The Wires P, Q are readily removable so that other connections may be made if desired. For instance, as indicated in Fig. 3 I may connect the strands F in series with a battery N and an interrupter I and the N this latter clrcuit being simply a charging circuit; I find that the addition of such a charging circuit apparently increases the strength of the current induced in the second ary coil E this current being sparkless, or practically so.

My invention is applicable wherever a the current for producing this efiect varies,

' whether such current simply fluctuatesor is entirely interrupted at t mes as in the examples shown. With my invention I avoid dition changes. The stra'ndXH) which-is or circuits (whether they are connected in parallel as in Figs. 1 and 4, or operated separately as in Fig. 3) acts in direct opposition to the electromotive force of self-induction produced in the active circuit or strands (such as F and G); This neutralization is obtained without detracting from the mag- 'netizing power of the active portion (F and G) of the composite coil, provided the resistance of the inductively char ed circuit (H,

(R) is equal to or exceeds wit in reasonable limits, that of the charged circuits (F and G).

It will be understood that the number of.

- strands intertwined or twisted together may be varied without departing from the nature of my invention as defined in the claims. The invention has been described in connection withthe primary coil of an induction apparatus, but may be used for electric motors and dynamos, telephones and in general any apparatus using 001 s and exposed todetrimental selfinduction.

I claim as my invention: 1 1 An electromagnet coil provided with a composite wire comprising a lurality of insulated strands intertwined 'ongitudinally,

said composite wire being wound to form a I coil, and a resistance in closed circuit with one of said strands.

2.- An electromagnet coil provided with a composite wire comprising a lurality of insulated strands intertwined on itudinally, said composite wire being woun toform a coil, and a variable resistance in closed circuit with one of the said strands.

3. ,An electromagnet coil provided with a composite wire comprising a plurality of insulated strands twisted together and forming a body which is a proximately circular in cross section, sai composite wire being wound to form a coil, and a resistance in closed circuit with one of said strands.

4. An'electromagnet coil provided with a composite wire comprising a plurality of insulated strands twisted together and forming a body which is approximately circular in cross section, said com osite wire being wound to form a coil, an a variableresist ance in closed circuit with one of said strands.

5 An electromagnet coil provided with a composite wire comprising a lurality of insulated strands intertwined ongitudinally, said composite wire being wound to form a coil, a resistance in closed circuit with one of said strands, and means for supplying a varying current to the remaining portion of the composite wire.

6. An electromagnet coil provided with a composite wire comprising a lurality of insulated strands intertwined on itudinally,

.said composite wire being woun to form a coil, a variable resistance in closed circuit with one of said strands, and means forsupplying a varying current to the remalnlng portion of the composite wire.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscriblng witnesses.

ALBERT E. SINK."
