Ed -

When it comes to TC computer programs you are a pessimist. Refer to my
earlier posts regarding the difficulties of having users of the JHCTES
programs inputing the correct data that truly represents their coils. The
outputs of the JHCTES program are always correct only the inputs can be
wrong. The calcs in the program are only simple arithmetic that the computer
does correctly.

I agree with you that the coilers should be familiar with the calcs. I also
agree about the difficulty of using someone else's program. I believe that
the JHCTES Ver 3.2 solves this difficulty by using the absolute minimum
number of parameters (7) to solve the mandatory tuning condition of a Tesla
coil. There are other TC limiting conditions and I am working on a computer
program to include additional parameters.

	I recommend learning the simple arithmetic for the manual calculations,
even if you later use a computer program.  This will help judge the
reasonableness of answers.  Remember, "garbage in garbage out", and it's
easy to make a mistake using someone else's program.
