coil stabilizer

Usually the stabilization is built into the coil. That being said, if you take a penny (solid copper only -1982 or prior, zinc with copper plating won't work) and place it on top of the coil in the center, or between the ears if they are in the middle of the coil, it will usually give you more stability. It does not work on every coil but will on most. It acts kind of like a bucking coil by focusing the magnetic field and can help settle it down and give you about another inch in depth. The sweet spot might not be dead center (due to the magnetic field and the position of the wires in the coil) and you might have to move it around close to the center for the best results. When you find the best spot, mark it and glue the penny in that spot. This is NOT a rumor. I have used this method in a lot of coil experiments.
