Re: [TCML] pole pig minus case



Hey Jorges...

I personally prefer to leave them in oil... you never know when you may get the urge to run longer than a minute.... and I suppose eventually the paper will dry out and may become a source of arc material....
maybe you can find a small Ice Chest that will hold the piggie...

whats the sence of owning a Ferrari or Lamborghini if you only plan to drive it at a maximum of 55MPH??? :)~

Howdy all,

My name is Jorge, im a fellow tesla coil builder from Mexico, i've built
several tesla coils over the years, small ones compared to the ones i've
seen here,
and in person, been doing small steps at a time, building up experience.
Recently i got hold of a pole pig wich will make me jump from neons to the
medium
stuff I say.
The thing is I got the transformer without the case, im planning on pumping
out around 5,000 watts from the pig, do you guys think it can do it dry? i
know
putting it in an oil bath would GREATLY help (alas increasing weight and
size), but i dont want extended run times, say a minute of running and 10-15

minutes of cool down, what do you guys think?

Heres a pic of the pigy:
