Re: Fw: Arc Impedance Study - Computer Models



Hi Bert,
    The break rate was very stacatto sort of like a machine gun, and yet,
the streamers seemed to flow.  I have never been able to understand this.
My coil is modeled on this coil almost exactly.  It will resonate around
250 kHz with a 24 by 8 toroid.

Barry,

Thanks for the very interesting description - sounds like quite an
interesting streamer display indeed, and not like anything I've seen off
a distruptive coil+ACE- Any feel for what the break rate might have been?

It might be that this coil was operating at a higher frequency -
roughing out the secondary and toroid, the system may have been
operating at +AD4-400 kHz while also having a bit larger bang size (+AH4-5
Joules) than coils this size usually have. Coupling also sounds as
though it might be a bit higher. They also seemed to be getting
excellent streamer length versus coil length. Wonder if it was the
combination of the higher frequency and relatively large bang size that
accounts for the difference in appearance. Very curious, for sure+ACE- 

BTW, it must be nice getting paid to play with lightning+ACE- :+AF4-)

Very nice+ACE-  

Thanks, and safe Marxin' to you, Barry+ACEAIQ-
