Hi All,
It has been a while since I have signed on but I think I needed a
break. Now that I have made a 3 KW magnifier system and had great success
with it I am going to move on to other things.
What I have in mind is a large coil, essentially modeled after what I
know about Nemeses. I propose a secondary that is on a polyethylene drum
and is 24" dia. with a 30" winding length. The toroid will be 8x36" and the
primary will be a flat spiral, a .08mf Maxwell cap and a 2400 rpm, 12 point
rotory gap with Elconite stationary electrodes.
All of this may be under powered by my supply which is 10 Kv -at- 300 ma,
but it is all the supply I can afford at the moment. With the shipping
cost of a 10 KVA pig and the ballast to go with it is just out of my reach
at the moment. I think even with 3 KVA I won't be disappointed with such a
large coil and a small aspect ratio.
Any comments are very much welcome,
Dwight
