Re: [TCML] DC charging reactor

Hi Ibrahim

there's a great page here with all the formulae for working out a DC 
resonant charging coil design

I think you'd usually use a fast ARSG (asynchronous rotary spark gap) in 
coil like this.  The esteemed Mr Connor's Tesla Two is a DC resonant 
charging coil if you were looking for an example too

I agree, the parts count is higher but DC coils seem to run smoothly and 
predictably, and with a variac on the ARSG you can choose any break rate 
you like and see how the streamers change behaviour
