1. A half-coil connection for an electrodynamic system such as an electrical generator, comprising:

  • a first half-coil comprising a first group of strands comprising more than one strand stack and a second group of strands comprising more than one strand stack;

    a second half-coil comprising a third group of strands comprising more than one strand stack and a fourth group of strands comprising more than one strand stack;

    four strand group clips secured, respectively, to said first, second, third and fourth groups of strands to bind said stacks within said strands together, said clips being electrically conductive;

    a first conductor member affixed at a first end to said strand group clip on said first group of strands and affixed at a second, opposite end to said strand group clip on said second group of strands; and

    a second conductor member affixed at a first end to said strand group clip on said second group of strands and affixed at a second, opposite end to said strand group clip on said fourth group of strands, whereby a solid connection between the half-coils is achieved which is less labor-intensive to install and is more durable than connections heretofore known.
