1500-3000 turn coils

Coil Enthusiasts,

With all this recent talk of "overwinding" secondaries i thought i'd like to 
throw in a different explanation. not that i am tossing aside the more 
primary turns equates to less loss in the spark gap idea. but a Tesla Coil 
is still a transformer. not ALL the voltage rise that occurs because of 
resonance. there is still a portion that is caused by a simple turn to turn 
ratio.

so it's probably a combination of less loss in the gap and turn to turn 
voltage rise.  just a thought.

Dan
