Hello Cory,

Sounds like an interesting idea...

The coin shrinkers use around 6 to 10 K Joules and the primary coil is
destroyed.  Dumping large amounts of energy in short periods of time into
any coil could be destructive.  Look at Bert Hickman's site:
http://www.aquila-dot-net/bert.hickman/frames/frameindex.html

One Watt is one Joule per second.  Storing the output of a 700W transformer
for 1.5 seconds can only yield 1050 Joules.

You may want to start small and work up.

Cheers,

Pete Komen

Hello,
I have some old MOTs sitting around and i was
wondering if instead of a high frequency Tesla Coil,
instead a type of extremely high energy discharge coil
could be made from these MOTs... It would be great if
i could just gather some critiques and or opinions
from Coilers on this board.  The basic idea im sure
has been used somewhere, but it is just to use a 2KV
source to charge capacitive banks, and then discharge
the banks into a coil with an extreme turn ratio to
create extremely LONG and hot streamers...  i was
thinking along the lines of a discharge per second or
two rendering about 700W from one MOT times 1.5 Secs =
around 70000 joules... :-D...i realize switching and
preventing plasma type explosions would be a
problem... ideas? sites that may help? problems i
havent seen???

thanks,

Cory Roussel
