All you really need to make your own Lakhovsky Coil is some solid copper wire. With the addition of some rubber (rubber bands may not be fashionable, but they work great) you can make an even more solid coil.

While many people have found that insulated copper wire works just as well as uninsulated wire, some prefer to use uninsulated wire, as they feel the charge is stronger. So far I have only tried uninsulated wire. The positive side of using insulated wire is that you do not have to clean it regularly –it tends to tarnish, which can be cleaned up with a scrub sponge or steel wool every week or so. Also, insulated copper wire does not have to be properly insulated at the ends to avoid contact.

Insulated Copper Wire

First, obtain some #10 or #12 AWG insulated solid copper wire (for those living outside the US, #10 AWG is about the same as #12 SWG). You will need enough to go around the body area you wish to treat, with enough for about 2 inches of overlap (more is okay).

You may find that you do not need to secure the ends of wire, and that it will hold its shape well enough on its own. If it doesn’t, you can use rubber bands or another short length of wire to secure the ends of the coil.

Uninsulated Copper Wire

As above, you will need some #10 or #12 AWG solid copper wire.

The important thing is to make sure that the ends of the coper wire do not touch each other. The best way to accomplish this is with rubber tubing such as automobile vacuum tubing. This seems to be a good size for fitting over the copper ends. You will need about four inches for each coil that you are going to make.

Slide the rubber tubing about 2 inches onto the end of your copper wire, folding the excess back along the wire and wrap all of it with rubber bands. Then lay the other end of the wire 2 inches beyond the first, forming a loop. Take a single wide rubber band and wrap it around the entire overlapping section as such:
