Does anyone know what the min and max requirements would be to drive the 
following coils:


6"
8"
10"
12"
20'

Through experimentation I was able to determine that my 4" coil would 
take a maximum of 5 Kw. Anything above that caused massive arcing 
between the primary and the secondary. I was not able to drive this coil 
below 500 w. I'm currently running my 6" at 5 Kw and it is preforming 
very well.
