Hi All,
 
Finally got my 8" x 33" inch coil running again last night after  being 
disassembled and put away for several years. First light with the 7.5 kVA  
bombarder was very successful, but it still needs to be tweaked some more. Was  
getting 6+ foot arcs with the slide choke all the way in (minimum power, about  150 
mA), but it should do much better than that when it's tuned up. 
 
Now I'm looking for tips, techniques or websites on how to  build a plasma 
motor to set on top of the toroid. I made a quick and dirty one  last night 
about 3 feet across the tips, in the shape of an "S" and carefully  balanced so it 
will rotate easily, but it won't spin on its own. Looks great  when its given 
a push, but it slowly winds down. What's the right way to build  one for this 
size coil that will move on its own power?
 
Thanks,
 
Tony Greer
