[TCML] wire gage

[Scott Bogard <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
     My Cousin and I had a debate today about wire gage from the High 
voltage output of a Pole pig (or other similar transformer.)  I told him 
for Tesla coil applications that 14 AWG would be sufficient, and that 
insulation is more important.  He thinks that I should have a larger 
gage (like 10,) and that insulation is also important (unless you 
suspend the wires an don't allow them to touch anything of course.)  We 
both agree the tank wire should be thicker, we are just concerned about 
getting the power there.  He wants to here it from the "experts," so a 
few responses yea, or nay, would be appreciated.  Thanks for settling this.

Scott Bogard.
