ever salvage a degaussing coil from a crt and find that the electrical tape has left all the
nice copper wire covered in sticky residue, leaving it a pain/impossible to work with?

cut through the whole thing, give it a little twist with a drill, and use it as a heavy duty litz cable
for a mot welder or for capacitor bank outputs. enjoy.

still looking for a use for the ~600ft of 20 awg aluminum wire i got from a giant tv.

build an induction heater, melt the aluminium wire, and cast a heatsink smile

Wind a coil with, aluminum, copper and iron wire in series. Stare at it. Then
consider what precisely it's properties will distinguish it from
a coil wound just with copper.


Then put your mind back in the box and carry on,

A design with windings of copper and nichrome alloy was used
in a device in millions of homes for 40 years.

Petrol/Gasoline usually cleans off sticky residues.
Just use suitable precautions, ventilation, no naked flames etc.
