Hello, I am new to the list and am in the process of designing and
building my first (small) coil and have a couple of questions.

  I am a little puzzled as to why Tesla coils should be loosely
coupled.  Is 
this due to the high turns ratio (for the extra voltage gain, although,
as I 
understand it most of the voltage gain is due to the Q of the secondary
at 
resonance) resulting in a high secondary inductance compared with the
primary 
or that the degree of flux linkage between the primary and secondary
should be 
low for some reason?

  I have also found difficulty in finding a good book on Tesla's work,
could 
anyone recommend a suitable title.


Thank you in advance, I look forward to receiving your reply(s).

Rob Davis.
