For small to medium coil system with 4-12 inch dia secondary coils,
insulated enameled magnet wire closewound works very good.  For 4-6 in dia
try #24-26 AWG and for 8-10 in dia use #18-22 AWG sizes.  If you are
designing a coil with 10 inch dia sec or larger then switch to 3 kV PVC
(MIL spec D) wire in gauges 14 to 18 AWG.  The PVC insulated wire
closewound works best with larger coils with 8 plus foot long sparks.  When
using magnet wire try to use 200 degree C. wire (high-temp) if possible as
the insulation is thicker and much more durable.
