Re: [TCML] Kinraide Coil Reproduction - Near Completion. Near exhausted.



Hi Jeff,

Truly impressive workmanship! Using the original materials is particularly impressive. Your workshop must seem like a time-warp to the Age of Electricity of the early 1900's. GL

Hey All,
The Beeswax/Rosin/Silk/Cotton/Copper/Bondo/Brass/Bakelite/Brazilian Cherry experiments are coming to a close, finally. Just the polishing bits left, staining, lacquering, and hard rubber posts to add for X-Ray tube connections, and insulating handles. Coils, with revolving/sliding discharging posts mounted:

Testing spark capacity at various currents. 12" Sparks between ball terminals.

Crude YouTube of testing using a variac. Note the sound differences in the sparks as the voltage rises...

The spark gap will have some additional posts for external spark gaps/interrupters of other kinds. These will produce much different spark variations (pseudo-static, etc...). Current spark gap is here:

This produces long, thin sparks with a lot of effluve innerspaced.
