I recently read in the pamphlet Tesla Coil, by Georger Trinkaus, that the
primary should be wound in the same directions as the secondary. I built
my coil so the primary is wound opposite to the secondary. During
construction, I looked at Chip A.'s coil pics and it appears that I built
mine the same as his. The coil works off induction amplified by
resonance, so I don't really see why it should matter. Would somebody
please tell me if I built mine right? I sure hope I don't have to change
things around. It would probably be easier to flip the secondary over
rather than unfasten the copper tubing of the primary. What a pain. I
sure hope I don't have to change anything!
