	Single coil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As its name indicates, it is composed of copper wire wrapped in a single coil around a single bar magnet or several rod magnets.
		The Fender single coil is one of the simplest designs of a pickup; guitar versions have six poles or rod magnets, one for each string.
		The traditional single coil design is the one found in guitars such as the Fender Stratocaster.

	Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electromagnetic pickups (single and double coil) convert the vibration of the steel strings into electric signals which are fed to an amplifier through a cable or radio device.
		Single coil pickups are used by guitarists seeking a brighter, twangier sound with greater dynamic range.
		However, a disadvantage of single coil pickups is mains-frequency (60 or 50 Hertz) hum.

	Vintage single coil pickups
		Often referring to a single coil (or single pole, to be more precise) type pickup that has a 98% capability to cancel externally generated hum.
		When 2 pickups or coils are connected in such a way that the current flows are in opposite directions and tend to cancel one another they are said to be out of phase.
		The coils are in-phase sonically but because they are out of phase with respect to externally generated noise (hum) the hum is cancelled/neutralized inside the coils.

	Single Coil Z Match
		The coil assembly can be mounted using a small L bracket fitted to the perspex sheet at one end of L1.
		Apart from its use in the particular single coil tuner described, the inclusion of the circuit (L3-SI) is a very useful addition to any Z match tuner design to cope with the sort of condition I have discussed.
		The whole concept of the Single Coil Z Match is quite simple in principle and the unit is simple to construct.

	Single Coil Valve Drivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Current to the valve is regulated, allowing the valve coils to heat up and increase their resistance without affecting operation.
		Coils rated lower than the power supply voltage may be used to provide headroom against voltage drops in the wiring and the valve driver, or to allow the same coil to be used with 12 volt supplies.
		The HAU, a single coil proportional valve driver, provides precise control of a single coil proportional valve and enables the user to add ramping and/or dither to minimize stiction and hysteresis of the valve.

	Hoffman Amplifiers - Single coil-Why no Hum cancel?
		If you have two single coils side by side you can get a reverse wound one and they will have hum cancelling when both are on but the power output will be low.
		It is possible to eliminate or reduce single coil hum by shielding the cavities with copper sheets.
		The only penalty of using two single coils in parallel is that the power output goes way down but that cool quack tone is to die for.

	An introduction to the air cored coil
		You may be using an air cored coil not because you require a circuit element with a specific inductance per se but because your coil is used as a proximity sensor, loop antenna, induction heater, Tesla coil, electromagnet or deflection yoke etc. Then an external field may be what you want.
		Sometimes the purpose of an air coil is not to possess inductance but to create a region of space having a definite magnetic flux density.
		A well known example of this is the deflection coils placed around a cathode ray tube where the direction of the electron beam is controlled by the current driven through the coils.

		After a coil is wound and helded to shape with a bonding material such as wax or varnishes the tooling for an air coil can be pulled apart leaving the coil without a bobbin.
		After several hours of removing the coil we could see that moisture, either from sweating or moisture in the case that caused the magnet to rust thus causing the coil to be inoperative.
		The rust continues into the bobbin where the coil is wound, breaks down the insulation until the copper magnet wire becomes exposed and shorts out then there's no reading in the coil To help prevent this in single coils it is best to keep your instrument's case dry especially in hot humid areas.

	POWERLABS's single stage gauss gun page!
		The goal of this project is to develop a high power, highly efficient single stage linear electromagnetic mass accelerator capable of reaching over 50 joules of muzzle kinetic energy on a single stage.
		The Coil's terminals are 10 and 15cm long respectively, and the coil itself is taped onto the side of the capacitor bank (this is temporary).
		The coil inductance used here is the average between the minimum (no projectile) and maximum (projectile in the middle) inductances the coil can have.

	HAU Single Coil PWM
		a single coil proportional valve driver, provides precise control of a single coil proportional valve and enables the user to add ramping and/or dither to minimize stiction and hysteresis of the valve.
		The coil can be driven to within 1.0 volt of the power supply voltage at maximum current.
		Current to the coil is regulated to compensate for coil resistance change, power supply voltage fluctuations and voltage drops in the wiring going to the coil.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Heaven's A Lie [single] - Lacuna Coil at Epinions.com
		It was the first single released from Comalies, and I will continually applaud that choice -- it's one of the disc's most spectacular tunes.
		Rumors ran rampant that this would eventually be released as a single, but unfortunately, none of those whisperings were based on truth.
		Considering that two out of the single's three songs are already on Comalies, I'll recommend this only for hardcore Lacuna Coil fans who love collecting everything by the band.

	Guitar Forums: Electric Guitar: Single Coils vs Humbuckers!
		Why not compromise, best and most versitile combination to date is humbucker in the bridge and two single coils in the neck and middle positions.
		I know there are noiseless single coils but they often use a dummy coil which cancels the hum and slightly changes the sound.
		The heavy guage wire also means a single coil can be of a low impedance but have a super high power magnet and the heavy gauge wire making it VERY loud.

	Toroidal Core Single Coil Z Match
		The AR Single Coil Z Match tuner design using an open coil has now been well documented by articles presented in Amateur Radio over a number of years.
		I arranged for the toroidal coil to have a similar primary inductance to the AR open coil unit and set the coil taps to provide the same ratio of turns.
		In testing the open coil AR Single Coil Z Match, load range tests were carried out over the resistance range of 10 to 2000 ohms at frequencies of 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz.

		he use of a single coil design is more favorable over a multiple coil design.
		The advantages of a single coil are smaller size, weight, and lower cost.
		However, a single coil has a point of diminishing returns, and just where those benefits end is where the rewards begins for using multiple coils, higher output energies and hopefully efficiency.

	single-coil-theory
		So I went back in and re-recorded a number of the solos with a single coil sound, and I found that it really opened up the track for hearing the other guitar parts, as well as the bass and rums.
		At that point, I already had a Strat with a humbucker in the back and two single coils.
		The humbucker was originally intended to cancel hum, so it's really two single- coil pickups wired together.

		Whether I use 1, 2, or 3 coils, all coils are now mounted atop a computer case on the standard 13 inch wooded slab.
		First, coils were tied down by fastening the coil to a wooded surface plane by means of ordinary masking tape.
		Second, as a means to ease the changing of coils, screws were driven into the same wooden surface as a make shift vise.

	Single-coil Hookup Wires at Stewart-MacDonald
		Hot wax is thin enough to penetrate completely into the coil, which is what you're after, and it keeps everything from vibrating.
		A good example of microphonics at its worst would be the Fender Telecaster bridge pickup—not only do you have a coil of wire and magnets, but you have a steel plate under it and a steel bridge around it.
		Rusted steel, corroded copper, or a combination of both, are the most common causes of dead pickups, or pickups which die a slow death.) Wax-potted coils unwind nicely, unlike lacquer-potted coils which might as well be glued together.

		Italy's LACUNA COIL will be releasing the second single, "Swamped", from their highly acclaimed album, "Comalies", on June 7 through Century Media Records.
		They are NOT releasing the single now becuase of Evanescence, they slowly built up their own fanbase by constant touring the past two years which is why they dont have a new album yet.
		Lacuna Coil are hard workers, good musicians, and deserve twice the amount of respect and attetion they fight hard for.

	Installing New Single Coil - Project Guitar Forum
		The point i was trying to make is this: if it was a conventional single coil replacement you would have to make sure that the magnetic and electrical polarity of the replacement pickups were the same as the ones you are replacing.
		I don't think lace sensors have the middle pickup rw/rp in the manner of a conventional Fender single coil, in which case it will be a matter of trying it to see how it sounds.
		Red should be hot (to switch) and white should be ground (to volume pot) - if there's any exposed metal on the pickup coil or baseplate, you can check for continuity to the white wire to verify that (if there's no continuity to the white lead, but there is to the red wire, swap them).

	SameDayMusic.com: EMG SA Active Single Coil Pickup
		Single pole alnico magnets help deliver classic overdrive with smooth midrange distortion, while still retaining the familiar high end of a single-coil pickup.
		Traditional single coil pickups have great tone, but along with those beautiful highs you usually get a big dose of hum and buzz.
		All the coil connections are shielded, the pre-amp is shielded, and the output of the pickup cable is low-impedence, which makes it less susceptible to noise.

	IC Drives Up to Four Single-Coil Latching Relays - Maxim/Dallas
		Single-coil latching relays, with applications in signal routing, audio, and automotive systems, can pose a design challenge because coil current must flow in both directions through a single coil.
		Current flow in a single coil latches the corresponding relay in its SET or RESET position.
		Clamping diodes on each OUTX pin catch high-voltage transients that occur when the coil current is interrupted.
