Chip in particular or anyone in general,
After seeing the scans of your coil in action, I would like to know if you
have electric garage door openers? I ask this because I have two
remote openers in my garage (where I will eventually be displaced to
when I start hitting the walls in the basement), and I was wondering
what precautions I can take to keep from frying them? Removing the
openers is not a viable option, and the garage is large enough so that
direct strikes can be easily avoided. Would unplugging the openers
and shielding them before firing be adequate protection, or am I just out
of luck?
This is going to be an issue Real Soon Now, since I am in the last
stages of finishing my new primary, and I have a bunch of neon sign
transformers waiting in the garage to get me going, and a small 14.4kV,
2kVA potential transformer that I just picked up at Richard Hull's
"Teslathon" for when I get a rotary gap and get tired of tripping over the
ganged neon sign transformers.
