Coilers,
I am considering for an IEEE project here at college to build a small
coil that can be demonstrated in the labs or classrooms. I would like
some advice on wether or not a small coil can use the third terminal
ground on an outlet for its ground source. By small I am saying probably
2 feet long arcs or less. I have done this with my current coil that is
producing about 2 foot arcs and drawing about 8amps out of 120V outlet,
nothing seemed affected. I cannot think of any other possible earth
grounds seeing how pounding a rod into the ground is out of the
question.
