 Can you (or some other kind soul) give me some more info on chokes? I 
need to make some good ones for my Tesla Coil (the one with the 8inch 
secondary).
 I have some insulated radio ferrite cores (1cm diameter, 14cm long) and 
60 meters of 22AWG (0.60mm) wire. Is that enough? Would I need a 
different wire? What is the most efficient design?

 Thanks!

 Sam.
