"hy is LsCs = LpCp a tuning a requirement?  does this mean 
most tesla
coils are double tuned transformer circuits or am i getting 
things mixed
up?

thanks...

1. To tune the primary and secondary to the same frequency.
2. Most coils ARE simply double-tuned transformers, with 
highly unknown Q (and hence kQ, the real deterimant of 
coupling in a double-tuned transformer) because of the 
non-linearity of the impedance of the discharge.
