[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23661394, member: 43994"] There are many other types of exotics you might do that wouldn’t have that problem. It’s the fused bit, not the Clapton bit that is the issue. [B]TLDNR: how fused Claptons work[/B] A fused Clapton is two or more pieces of wire wrapped with a thinner (and much longer) wire. Because the wrap wire is so much higher resistance it doesn’t carry any current. One can still short through it so it’s not really an insulator either. The two shorter, thicker, straight ones inside do. The idea is to create more surface area. So to do a two wire 1.4 fused Clapton you’d need core wire equal to 2.8ohm, wrap it with wire thinner than it is. So big (and therefore longer) coil and the wrap wire is gonna be real real thin (which means you will need a lot of it. All in all just a real pain. A regular Clapton uses just one wire so it (and its corresponding wrap wire) should be bigger. Shouldn’t be complicated doing a regular Clapton. Every exotic is more or less a core and a wrap. As long as the core is 1.4 the coil will be too. Quad is 4 cores twisted together with no wrap. ( If you wrapped it it would be a fused clapton or alien or whatever) [/QUOTE]
