I just found a coil form that is 12.5"x48". I would like to own a coil will
take higher powers (10kW+), but I'm not sure how I should wind this coil to
prep it for high power. If I use no. 14 wire over its 46" winding length,
closewound, I'll have 718 turns. If I use no. 16 wire spaced at 10 mils,
I'll have 756 turns. I really don't know if larger wire or spacing is more
important for high power survivability. Is 10 mil spacing too much? too
little?  Thanks,  

                Adam  

p.s. I've been getting my first "acceptable" output from my 6inch coil.
only 15inches of spark. That'll soon change my better primary C!
