Last night I was showing off my TC to some friends As I rolled it back
inside the garage, the bump between my driveway and the garage floor
caused the toroid and secondary coil to fall off. No real problem
because the entire assembly is held together with hot-glue. My
secondary coil rolled down the driveway into the street. I put the
cart away and went to retrieve the secondary.
I picked up the coil and carried it under my arm, on each step my arm
and torso touched a new "hot" spot.... left - snap - right - snap -
left - snap .... It was quite humorous, IN RETROSPECT.
