Coiling problems



Original poster: Nir Weingarten <nirzvi-at-yahoo-dot-com> 

Greetings all.

If you have a good memory you will probably remember
my message from about six months. I asked for
instructions about the construction of a coiling jig
for my very first big size coil. Its now ready,
powered by man and not by motor as I intended at
first.
As this major step in my construction begins I am
faced with alot of embarrassing questions. This
questions are embarrassing because I ignored them in
my major plan, little details.

My coil is a 90 cn. high PVC pipe seeled at both
edges.
Around the pipe there will be coiled 37. wire that
ends in a discharge terminal witch is a iron ball
about 5 cn. in radios. This coil has no capasitors and
a 15,000 neon light tansformer that is powered by my
220 v. 50 hrz. home network.

Here are some of the questions:

- Should there be a restriction on the amount of laps
around the secondary coil?

- What kind of wire should I use for the primary coil
(open wire, magnet wire...)?

- where do I conect the Primary coil?

- What in fact is a spark gap, what does it do, where
and how do I put it together?

Your help will be of great assistance for me.

Best wishes and happy holidays.
