Hi,
Well, you probably have read some of my info on my small magnifier i build
with my 450 Watt transformer. One thing I noticed was that my extra small
magnifiers didn't produce much spark from the secondary, but as a build
larger systems from .4 inch diameter to 6.4 inch diameter driver coils I
found that the spark increases from my secondary.
To me it seems like the bigger your coil the better sparks you will get.
My theory!!! I think if you build a large diameter Magnifier driver the
better it will perform than a 10 inch diameter.
Is it the Frequency or the Internal capacitance that gets lower or higher or
can the sparklength be affected by low or high inductance?
Am I talking nonsense or not? This was only my observation with my
experimenting.
Thanks.
