An electro-magnetic device is provided, including a first winding set of nested windings, and a second winding set of nested windings positioned adjacent to the first winding set. A method of making an electro-magnetic device including a first winding set of nested windings, and a second winding set of nested windings positioned adjacent to the first winding set is also provided.

In one aspect a support member is provided. The support member is for forming an inductor coil of an aerosol provision device, and defines an axis about which a multistrand wire of the inductor coil is windable. An outer surface of the support member comprises a channel to receive the wire. In another aspect there is provided a method of forming an inductor coil for an aerosol provision device. The method comprises providing a multi-strand wire comprising a plurality of wire strands, wherein at least one of the plurality of wire strands comprises a bondable coating; winding the multi-strand wire around a support member defining an axis; activating the bondable coating such that the multi-strand wire substantially retains a shape determined by the support member; reducing a cross-sectional width of the support member in a direction perpendicular to the axis; and removing the multistrand wire from the support member.

An apparatus and method for winding electrical coils (electromagnets) is described. A self-propelled and self-referencing winding vehicle uses features on a winding bobbin to guide the direction and/or orientation of the vehicle, while laying electrical conductor material (e.g., high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes) as it traverses the bobbin. The vehicle may wind electrical coils with complex shapes. In some embodiments, the self-propelled, self-referencing (SPSR) vehicle may perform other magnet fabrication and assembly procedures.

The coil component includes a plurality of coils 2 including round wires 22 arranged in alignment and wound in multiple layers and a bobbin 3 around which the coils 2 are wound. The bobbin 3 includes a winding portion 21 around which the coils are wound, a flange portion 22 provided at both ends of the winding portion 21, and the wall portion provided between the adjacent coils 2 and standing from the winding portion 21. The flange portion 22 includes an inclined guide 222 that spreads toward an opening 221. The winding portion 31 includes the groove portion 312 in which the round wire 22 as the first layer is fitted, and a step 313 provided between the flange portion 32 and the groove portion 312 and protrudes from the winding portion 31. The wall portion 33 includes an inclined side surface 332.

The invention provides a method and a device for producing a winding element from a supplied wire, in particular from a round copper wire, said method and device allowing the economical and flexible production of a winding element which, when subsequently used in the field of electrical engineering as a coil or inductor fitted in a stator, ensures the highest possible groove filling factor. For this purpose, the wire is wound to a three-dimensional shape and the cross section of the wire is changed simultaneously, as a result of which separate method steps and therefore tool arrangements for three-dimensional winding of the wire as well as the change of the cross-section of the wire can advantageously be dispensed with.

A method for producing a spiral-shaped body, in particular an electric coil, made of an electrically conductive material. First, the material is wound about a mandrel in a casting mold in order to form a coil with a plurality of windings, and pressure is then exerted onto the coil in the axial direction of the coil. The pressure leads to a deformation and compression of the cross-section of the individual windings in the axial direction of the coil. By compressing the coil, an optimal use of space is achieved with an electric coil, for example for an electric machine.
